Former White House adviser Steve Bannon will screen one of his movies,“Trump @War,” in Rep. Dave Brat’s (R-VA) congressional district this weekend in order “to get the base jacked up,” he told The Washington Post Tuesday.

The former Breitbart News chief told the the Post he may also travel to Virginia’s Second Congressional District, where GOP Rep. Scott Taylor (R-VA) is still paying campaign staffers accused of forging dozens of signatures. Neither the Brat campaign nor the Taylor campaign immediately responded to TPM’s request for comment. The Post noted Bannon has been showing his film via a nonprofit, and as such would be unable to coordinate the screenings directly with candidates.

    “I even went as far to say that you’re braver than any Vietnam vet because you’re out there screwing a lot of women.”

    “Getting the Congressional Medal of Honor, in actuality… I’m having a good time, but Howard, you know the one negative: It’s very, very dangerous out there,” said Trump.

    “Yes it is, it’s your Vietnam,” added Stern.

    “It’s Vietnam,” added Trump. “It is very dangerous. So I’m very, very careful.”

  4. Get the base jacked up

    Will they be screening “The Triumph of the Ill”?
