At a rally for Roy Moore in Alabama last night, former White House strategist Steve Bannon took a shot at MSNBC’s Joe Scarborough because Joe went to the University of Alabama and not Harvard. He said this. In Alabama:
In Midland City, Alabama, Steve Bannon goes after @JoeNBC, saying he got into better schools than Joe could have—Georgetown and Harvard. This might be the wrong place for that attack: Joe went to the University of Alabama.

Scarborough fired back, but pretty weakly we must say:
Hey Bannon, you only went to Harvard because you couldn't get into Alabama. #RollDamnTide https://t.co/AUj9U3CihU

But what was Bannon thinking?

Leaving aside the fact that Bannon is dissing the UofA in Alabama, it takes a truly special kind of asshole to bring out "I got into better schools than you" as an attack line. https://t.co/g2Kk0i6FLi

Bannon also appeared to take a dig at Ivanka Trump:

Last month, Ivanka said there’s a “special place in hell” for those that molest children and that she had no reason to doubt Moore’s accusers. Well Bannon threw that line back at her last night:
Steve Bannon, in what seems to be a direct shot at Ivanka Trump, says “there’s a special place in hell for Republicans who should know better.” Ivanka, of course, said there was a special place in hell for people who prey on children.

Steve Bannon in Alabama: "There's a special place in hell for Republicans that should know better. You know what they're doing: They're trying to shut up President Trump & Judge Moore. They're trying to shut you up."

Well let’s see how well this goes over with the president.
