Looks like he is selling the China angle HARD. That meshes with GOP Senate strategy.

1. Hmmmm.... This is pretty good on what drives them.

"For Trump’s early adopters, the issue of the coronavirus was a perfect fit. “If you were an early Trump adopter, then this China coronavirus is a vindication of everything you’ve said,” says Cernovich. “Like, hey, supply chains are a problem. Let’s bring back massive manufacturing. Everything we’ve been screaming about, warning about, for five years is right there.” If your preoccupations have been over manufacturing capacity, border control, or globalism, then coronavirus hits on all three at once. “I think the people who understood the Party of Davos cynicism, and about Chinese factories and all that, were early to understand that this was going to be a massive issue,” says Bannon, who began devoting his podcast, War Room, to the coronavirus already in late January."


Hmmmm.... Bannon knew by late January.

2. Remember when Republicans tried recruiting East Asian voters?

Neither the base nor the right-wing talk-show hosts would have it.

The white nationalist Republican Party of today could never attract another SI Hayskswa.

4. I do not.

When was this?

[Vogon_Glory]

12. The early '90's. I think it was Bush-the-Elder.

and his faction. That effort went down the crapper when the talk show hosts started using Wen Ho Lee as a scapegoat for nefarious East Asian foreigners during the Clinton years.

This is not to say that today’s Republican Party still welcomes Amer-Asians the way some parts of it did a quarter-century ago. I’m not saying that. As the saying goes: “That was then. This is now.”

3. You mean he's finally sobered up?

I wish he'd just go away and drink himself into his grave. That man is pure evil.

[GriffenRamsey]

5. Yeah, that's what made me think of him.

Where is that slimy fucker?

[marble falls]

6. Shouldn't he be out looking for a publisher?

[GriffenRamsey]

7. Vanity Fair called him a podcaster... hee... heee...

[marble falls]

9. He made his forune by buying the rights to 'Seinfeld' re-runs.

[GriffenRamsey]

10. Really?

I assumed, well, I don't know what, but not that.

11. According Vanity Fair which while is half full of perfume ads and celebrity fuff pieace, does do...

good accurate journalism.

Here's something from Time magazine:

As rich as Seinfeld is, why doesn't he buy out Bannon, a known anti-Semite.

8. And if anyone points out that they are sccapegoating China, well they are

a "China lover", where China did lie about human to human transmission. So it better be a third party that does it.
