Morphine Prince 109,891 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Steve Bannon, former president of the incendiary Breitbart News and more recently chief executive of Trump's campaign, is taking on a role as "chief strategist and senior counselor." Bannon's ascension is the clearest sign yet that Trump will maintain his ties to the populist white nationalism that helped propel him to the White House against overwhelming opposition from party leaders and traditional media. Under Bannon's guidance, Breitbart served as a hub for pro-Trump, anti-immigration and especially anti-Muslim agit-prop. The site faced regular criticism — including from Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton — for its close ties to the "alt right," an online-based counterculture movement associated with white nationalism. Bannon once called his outlet "the platform of the alt-right." Breitbart regularly features material from far-right figures around the world, like Geert Wilders, the Dutch politician who has proposed banning the Koran and penned an op-ed for the site recently titled "Let's lock the door on Islam." While Trump toured the country describing inner cities as "hell" and "war zones," Breitbart maintained a dedicated tag for articles on "black crime." When a white supremacist killed nine African-Americans at a historic black church in Charleston, South Carolina, last year, the site published an article titled: "Hoist it high and proud: The Confederate flag proclaims a glorious heritage."

It's so rude to judge people based on their beliefs and their very very recent, as of yesterday, history. People change! Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Goosey 3,017 Posted November 14, 2016 Share Posted November 14, 2016 Kellyanne Conway, a key adviser, defended Mr. Bannon, describing him as the “general of this campaign” and saying that “people should look at the full résumé.” Ms. Conway added: “He has got a Harvard business degree. He’s a Naval officer. He has success in entertainment.” She called him a “brilliant tactician.” Ms. Conway rejected criticism that Mr. Bannon has a connection to right-wing, nationalist views or that he would bring them to the White House as Mr. Trump’s chief strategist. “I’m personally offended that you think I would manage a campaign where that would be one of the going philosophies,” she told reporters assembled in the lobby of Mr. Trump’s office building. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/11/15/us/politics/donald-trump-presidency.html "I am the world's greatest person that does not want to let people into the country."—US President Donald J.
