he faulted his former chief strategist steven k. bannon for selling him what one outside advisor described as a bill of goodies. and he faulted moore himself for being an abysmal candidate. he had campaigned with moore in alabama as part of his own effort to take down the republican establishment, bannon had. today bannon was also under fire from some in the same establishment for backing someone in that senate seat. >> i don't think steve bannon is anything positive at all to the dialogue in the country. to see him on the stage with the american flag behind him, he looked like some disheveled drunk who had wandered off the street, i think it's wrong. i think we should shun him. >> don't forget bannon has threatened him by saying we're coming for you. here is what mcconnell aide josh holmes told politico about bannon in this alabama election. quote, he's proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he has no capacity to run a u.s. senate race. if he's capable of losing the reddest state in the nation, he's capable of losing anywhere. other repub

maybe even more than for democrat democrat, there's a lot on the line for steven bannon. >> i had the comments last night. he really is, to your point, he was like a stand-up comedian. he'd walk the stage and go "what else, what else?" he didn't want to get off the stage. eventually had to get roy moore up there. >> have you noticed on the west coast, they call it this thing. back here we call it -- >> yeah. >> so now -- >> i was going to say, he's out of the white house but still in the president's head. >> guess what, us talking about steve bannon right now, who's that driving it, donald trump? >> exactly. >> i mean, he's center stage. >> go bannon, go, go bannon, go. >> yeah. so the question is though, i mean, let's say roy moore wins, is this the beginning of the great divide inside the republican party, where we actually see it tearing apart? >> i think it's the actual seeing it because the divide has always been there. it was there when i tried to get it through with tea party and a lot of other things. i think this is just the exposition of it on the national stage in a big way

when we have these conversations about hardliners, no, steven miller is not a hard liner, and steve bannon, they are nationalist s nationalists, and when you have the president behaving this way, it's racism, nationalism run amuck. last time i checked haiti was not a hot bed of radical terrorism. nor was nigeria. so coming after them because they are black, right. this is not outside of the pattern of what we see here with this trump white house. and so for middle america, how does this impact us? well, you have america losing its leadership role across the globe because of this. you have the u.n. taking action against america unprecedented way just this week. you have the arabs and palestinians calling on europe to step up and take a leadership role because they can't trust america anymore. this fundamentally undermines us and take us years to recover from this. >> what do you say about meetings privy to comments like this, talk about his role and where supporters of his outlook on the world fit into the republican party today? >> well, doesn't say anything good about the republican party

the top aides including kellyanne conway and steve bannon and reince priebus and steven miller and hopeicks. also michael flynn received contact to the russian sergei kislyak. current president obama announces new sanctions against russia for meddling in the u.s. election. the top national security aide kt farland received a call from flynn regarding what he should say about the sanctions. flynn then called kislyak and urged a muted response. he called farland back to fill her in. trumps huddled to plan a response to the new sanctions. it's unclear whether trump was involved in those conversations. just after 6:00 p.m., trump said i will meet with leaders of the community next week in order to be updated on the facts of this situation. here now to talk about this is cnn white house reporter abby philipp and criminal defense attorney. let's start with you. you are traveling with the president and has the white house said how deeply involved the president was in any of these deliberations? did he expect them to? >> those meetings that you discussed would have happened down the street from

steven loft. he says this is a brutal reminder that candidate quality matters regardless of where you are running, not only did steve bannon critical senate seat in one of the most republican seats in the country but he also dragged the president of the united states into his fiasco and steven law is with the senate leadership fund. do you think that going forward that president trump might ask steve bannon, you know, to take a backseat and let this play out the way that he needs it to? >> yeah. i mean, i don't think he should take his calls. steve bannon wasn't terribly productive when he was in the white house. i mean, basically, as long as steve bannon was in the white house, the whole west wing operated like episode of gossip girl. all he talked about who is up, who is down. who is making fun of who inside the west wing. the second he left and a new regime came in. they have straightened out entirely and serving president trump the way he deserves to be served. now you see he comes in on the political side and destroys all that and throws a seat away in the process. look, i would distance myself extremely quickly. the
