Monday’s WarRoom conversation between Steve Bannon and Kentucky U.S. Senate candidate Nate Morris dropped the hammer on what they both call the "McConnell machine” — a political cartel of sellouts, globalists, and corporate stooges who’ve run the GOP like a private club for decades.

And Bannon didn’t hold back. This was a scorched-earth takedown of Mitch McConnell and the Washington swamp he built, brick by brick, to sabotage President Trump and betray the American people.
Bannon started by torching the pro forma recess scam that’s left over 160 Trump nominations on ice — a deliberate move, he says, orchestrated by McConnell’s “pretty boy spokesmodel” John Thune and "Polly Pockets” Mike Johnson. Their goal? Block MAGA appointments at every turn.
According to Bannon, they "lied to the president’s face,” hid behind constitutional excuses, and sabotaged Trump’s ability to govern. Why? Because they don’t want Trump’s people in power. They don’t want the America First agenda to take root.
And it gets worse. Bannon labeled McConnell a "disgrace,” accused him of selling out to the Chinese Communist Party and Wall Street, and pointed out the obvious: McConnell came into the Senate broke and left a multimillionaire. "He had 50 bucks when he showed up,” Bannon said. "Now he’s filthy rich, and the country is on life support.”
He accused McConnell of "kowtowing to donors,” rolling over for Democrats, and actively working against Trump behind the scenes. "Mitch McConnell hates President Trump,” Bannon declared. "He’s the reason we’re in this mess.”
Enter Nate Morris, who’s not just challenging the Kentucky GOP cartel — he’s torching it. A self-made entrepreneur, Morris jumped into the race after watching two establishment stooges, Andy Barr and Daniel Cameron, trip over themselves to protect McConnell’s legacy. "This seat belongs to the people of Kentucky,” Morris said. "Not to some political dynasty. Not to Mitch’s hand-picked puppets.”
At Fancy Farm, Morris faced the McConnell elite head-on, calling them out for their cowardice, their loyalty to Mitch, and their silence on his failures. "They gave McConnell standing ovation after standing ovation,” he said. "I was the only one who stayed seated — and I’ll do it again.”

BOLD TAKEAWAY: McConnell isn’t just out of touch — he’s the architect of the rot.
This isn’t just about Kentucky. It’s about who controls the Republican Party — the America First movement or the old guard that keeps stabbing Trump in the back while lining their pockets. This fight matters right now because September will bring another budget showdown, and the same swamp creatures are working overtime to ram through a trillion-dollar spending plan while blocking Trump’s agenda.
📢 CALL TO ACTION:
Kentucky — and America — deserves better. If you want to finally take out the trash, back candidates like Nate Morris who have the guts to name names and fight the machine.

This is the battle for the soul of the GOP. Pick a side.
Senator McConnell is and always has been a thorn in the side of REAL Republican attempts to regain control of the “Deep State”! While America’s coffers were being stolen, his bank account magically expanded. Further, he has quelled any and all efforts to rein the waste and abuse in congressional “spending and dispensing of funds”. Not only is Senator McConnell despicable in his job performance, but he is also incompetent as a lawmaker. We, the People will celebrate the day Senator McConnell is no longer that!
