Steve Bannon Demands Mitch McConnell Resign, Says He Will Not Be Majority Leader Next Year

On Wednesday, former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon called for Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell to resign due to a lack of urgency in the Senate.

I’m to the point that I think Mitch McConnell, to really bring unity to the Republican Party and get things done, I think Mitch McConnell ought to tender his resignation.”

“What he ought to do is offer to resign as soon as taxes are done,” added Bannon. “We can’t do it in the middle of taxes. … Because, I’ve got to tell you, there needs to be a sense of urgency in the Senate.”

He sat at the right hand of Trump. He's as involved in this Russian thingy as anyone in the WH.

any hearings or votes on Obama's nominee to the SCOTUS. He made Republicans believe that they didn't have to find ANY common ground with the Democrats on ANYTHING. That super partisanship culture is now eating him alive.

Could not have happened to bigger asshole. Resign McConnell.
