Conservative leaders with experience with the Democratic Party, like Donald Trump, former Trump strategist Stephen K. Bannon, and former Trump admin official Peter Navarro, are the greatest threat to the political establishment because they have seen it from the inside, argues National Pulse Editor-in-Chief Raheem Kassam.
“People like yourself, and Donald Trump, and Peter Navarro represent the most critical threats to the political establishment, the political order in the Western world today,” Kassam told Bannon on War Room.
“At some point in your lives you all either came from Democrat-voting families or were Democrats and Democrat donors. That is what they fear the most, and that is why Peter Navarro is locked up right now,” he continued.
Navarro, 74, has been imprisoned by a leftist judge for Contempt of Congress. He declined to comply with House Democrats’ demands during their sham investigation into the January 6 protests.

“[Navarro] poses a threat like very few Republicans on Capitol Hill, if any, frankly, pose a threat. He’s seen it from the inside out and he walked away. He said, ‘To Hell with you guys, you’re selling this country down the river, you’re selling this country overseas,'” Kassam explained.
The National Pulse chief had stern words for Jim Jordan’s Select Subcommittee on the Weaponization of the Federal Government. He asked why it is so comparatively weak in going after the establishment that jailed Navarro.
“Riddle me this… Why hasn’t a penny been spent? Why hasn’t a subpoena been issued?” Kassam asked. “You even had The New York Times this morning have a report on [January 6] and how the National Guard failed to be deployed… [G]uess what The New York Times found four years after the fact? That it wasn’t Donald Trump… It actually was the establishment, the status quo, the bureaucrats, who stopped the National Guard being deployed so that the Capitol could be overrun so that they could have their television moments,” he said.

Kassam seemed frustrated it took The New York Times to detail the story — covered by The National Pulse from various angles for years — where the likes of the Weaponization Committee have failed.
He expressed similar issues with the Republican National Committee (RNC), which has been rehiring staffers fired after Ronna McDaniel’s ouster. It previously made missteps such as hiring Charlie Spies, a former Jeb Bush lawyer with a history of attacking Trump. He is also a personal friend of Democrat election lawyer Marc Elias.
“It really bears reporting on how the Charlie Spies thing went down… It’s very important that people understand just how swampy that whole process was, and how much certain people tried to cling on to Charlie Spies,” Kassam said.
“Again, despite his friendship with Marc Elias. Despite his refusal to call 2020 stolen. Despite the fact he tried to have the FEC and the DOJ investigate Donald Trump back in 2016… We will be doing further reporting on that, I’m afraid it will upset some people,” he warned.
