David P. Goldman: ‘Rage of the Defeated and Humiliated Elites Is Now Focused Against Steve Bannon’

David P. Goldman writes that the current attacks on former Breitbart Executive Chairman Stephen K. Bannon are an expression of rage from the “defeated and humiliated elites” who cast their lot with losing presidential candidate Hillary Clinton.

From PJ Media:

All the existential rage of the defeated and humiliated elites is now focused against Steve Bannon, the architect of Trump’s victory, the media genius who won the battle with less than a fifth of the financial resources at Hillary Clinton’s disposal.

I know Steve Bannon, and have had several long discussions with him about politics. Steve is fervently pro-Israel, and it is utterly ridiculous to suggest that he is anti-Semitic. Other observant Jews who know Bannon, for example Joel Pollak, attest to his support for Israel and friendship for the Jewish people.

All we have learned from the sewage-storm directed at Bannon is that the Establishment plays dirty and that the formerly Republican #NeverTrumpers aren’t just misguided ideologues, but also yellow-bellied, gutter-crawling, backstabbing, bushwacking liars. Hell hath no fury like a self-designated elite scorned.

They hate Steve Bannon because he beat them fair and square on the battlefield of social media. He is the President-elect’s most effective general. Trump’s enemies can’t reverse the results of a national election, but they can try to cut the incoming president off from his popular base.
