Current White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon expresses his political philosophy long before joining Trump’s insurgent populist presidential campaign in this 2011 speech to “The Liberty Restoration Foundation”.
Bannon bucks several conservative orthodoxies of the day. For one, he says that Barack Obama is not the problem; he is a symptom of the problems in America’s leadership. Similarly, he warns not to dismiss “the Occupy Wall Street kids” but to listen to them — for, if the conservative grassroots does not take a stand, the twisted view of college-indoctrinated activists becomes the nation’s future.
A key portion of the speech lays out Bannon’s populist indictment of Washington, DC’s “crony capitalism and permanent political class” and a profile of the “anger” that drives the Tea Party movement.
The anger of the Tea Party is not racism, they’re not homophobes, they’re not nativist; what they are is common-sense, practical middle-class people that understand that they’re paying for their own and their children’s destruction. Right? And that’s the rage.
There’s no recession in the Hamptons. There’s no recession in Georgetown. The other day, the Washington Post reports, five of the seven wealthiest counties in the country are the suburbs of Washington, DC. The per capita income in Washington, DC, for the first time in history, is greater than Silicon Valley. That is not a random event.
Ironically, he predicts that anyone who may actually make the hard decisions to clean up DC’s financial and ethical messes will be “vilified” and “called every name in the book.” Immediately after Trump announced Bannon’s White House appointment, establishment media falsely labeled him an anti-semit and white supremacist.
