Krauthammer: ‘There Are Certain Things that You Simply Can’t Say and Survive’ and Bannon ‘Didn’t Survive’

RUSH EXCERPT:

KRAUTHAMMER: "I think that was part. It was several strikes against Bannon about that interview. North Korea, the undermining of the president's policy, basically saying it's a bluff and it's an empty bluff. The China part where he said we're at war, economic war with China. Just when the president is trying to use Chinese influence on the North Korea problem. And then this. I mean, it may be that they have made their calculation, the president has, particularly when he came out for retaining the confederate memorials. This is a winning issue. If you look at the polls, it is winning issue. And they want to play this in part to get away from the Charlottesville press conference. But, also, in part because it's a winning issue, cultural issue inside the country. But you don't say it out loud. That's what I think was so amazing about this. Bannon is saying we want race to be an issue. We want the country to be divided over this. Because we're gonna win. So you add that, I think, on the ledger of things you simply don't say in an interview, and you add what I called on the show earlier the Scaramucci moment. There are certain things that you simply can't say and survive and he didn't survive."
