Former Goldman Sachs executive and Breitbart.com executive Steve Bannons appointment as a top advisor to President-elect Donald Trump ignited a firestorm of controversy due to Bannons alleged alignments with white supremacists, anti-Semites and neo-Nazi white nationalists.
In an interview [link:http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/steve-bannon-trump-tower-interview-trumps-strategist-plots-new-political-movement-948747published Friday] in The Hollywood Reporter, Bannon denied that he is a racist and said that his views are based in economics, not in racial politics, and that he loves being hated by liberals. Darkness is good, Bannon told the Reporters Micahel Wolff. Dick Cheney. Darth Vader. Satan. Thats power.
Im not a white nationalist, Im a nationalist. Im an economic nationalist, he told Wolff, who described Bannon as dressing like a grad student. The globalists gutted the American working class and created a middle class in Asia. The issue now is about Americans looking to not get f*cked over.
Bannon said that the administration will push a trillion-dollar infrastructure plan and rebuild everything. Ship yards, iron works, get them all jacked up.

The Most Revealing Quotes From Steve Bannon's Hollywood Reporter Profile
-snip-
“Like (Andrew) Jackson’s populism, we’re going to build an entirely new political movement,” he said. “It’s everything related to jobs. The conservatives are going to go crazy. I’m the guy pushing a trillion-dollar infrastructure plan. With negative interest rates throughout the world, it’s the greatest opportunity to rebuild everything. Ship yards, iron works, get them all jacked up. We’re just going to throw it up against the wall and see if it sticks. It will be as exciting as the 1930s, greater than the Reagan revolution — conservatives, plus populists, in an economic nationalist movement.”
“I am Thomas Cromwell in the court of the Tudors,” the article concludes with Bannon saying, comparing himself to Henry VIII’s chief minister and a prime driver of the English Reformation.
Left unsaid: Cromwell ended up charged with treason and heresy, with his head displayed on a spike on London Bridge.

racist and extremist to the core, but talking like those who flock to Breitbart's white nationalist message would be like watching their sitcoms and chortling dutifully with the laugh track like them.
Even if nothing else gave it away, his intense bigotry and hostility toward liberals would give his true self away. Bigots, paradoxically enough, are not discriminating in their bigotry. 
Inside is always a very wide brush.
