Former White House chief strategist Steve Bannon and his allies are preparing primary challenges against Republican senators, a source close to Bannon confirmed to CNN.

The target list includes Tennessee Sen. Bob Corker, Mississippi Sen. Roger Wicker, Alabama Sen. Luther Strange, Nevada Sen. Dean Heller and Arizona Sen. Jeff Flake, the source said.

Flake, a strong critic of Trump, has not backed down from the President in the wake of Trump's public attacks against him.

Politico first reported the developments.

The news comes as Bannon claimed "the Republican establishment is trying to nullify the 2016 election" in an interview that aired on "60 Minutes" Sunday night.

When asked by CBS' Charlie Rose who in the GOP establishment opposed Trump's agenda, Bannon named Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell and House Speaker Paul Ryan specifically....

Bannon has his own news outlet. Why would he, or a source close to him, be leaking to CNN? Wouldn’t he want to break the news on Breitbart?

I thought Flake, Heller & Strange already had primary challengers.

Paul Ryan should head the list of Elites to primary out of office.

Heller has a 5+ time loser as a challenger. Pathetic.

Old corrupt Strange will be the first to bite the dust.

Primary all of them and take them all out!

While you are at it, put the Democrat Senators who are up for re-election your sights!

2018 would be a great year to dismantle the uniparty!

CNN is on tv. Bannon doesn’t have a tv station yet.

Squeaky clean, young and energetic and attractive (that is important in this era of cameos and soundbites), and good communicators and debaters only need apply.

Veterans strongly preferred.

If Andrew were still alive, it would still be a conservative site.

And yet, Heller is losing badly in the polls. So how pathetic is that?

True, but I thought being the alternative media was kind of his point.

Put the moozlem fighters on a deserted island with an equal number of gang-bangers from the MS-13 crowd. Winners go home to their country of origin. Take no prisoners.
