(FROM THE ARTICLE: Former White House strategist Steve Bannon told conservatives Sunday at a rally that they needn’t worry about Democrats but instead should focus on the “corrupt and incompetent Republican establishment.” Bannon spoke to about 400 people at a St. Louis hotel during the rally hosted by Phyllis Schlafly Eagles, a spinoff of the conservative think tank Eagle Forum that Schlafly founded and led until her death last year at age 92. The rally came at a tense time in St. Louis, where nearly 200 people have been arrested in protest since Sept. 15, when a judge acquitted a white former police officer in the fatal shooting of a black suspect. A small group of protesters stood outside the hotel with signs, including large letters that spelled out “Racist.”)

(FROM THE ARTICLE: Steve Bannon, the alt-right internet provocateur and former adviser to President Donald Trump, on Sunday told a cheering St. Louis-area crowd of several hundred conservative activists that the Republican establishment needs to be vanquished even before the Democrats. “The Democrats . . . we’ll get to them, and we’ll beat them like we beat Hillary Clinton,” Bannon said in a brief but fiery speech at an event at the St. Louis Airport Marriott. “But the first thing we have to get through is a corrupt and incompetent Republican establishment.”)
