As Breitbarts chief, Steve Bannon did a lot to normalize the racist, anti-Semitic world of the alt right. Now they rejoice as he joins the campaign of their king.Donald Trumps campaign is under new managementand his white nationalist fanboys love it.
The campaigns new chief executive, Stephen Bannon, joins from Breitbart Newswhere he helped mainstream the ideas of white nationalists and resuscitate the reputations of anti-immigrant fear-mongers.
White nationalists today invest a lot of energy worrying about growing Hispanic and Muslim populations in the U.S. Turns out, Breitbart News spends a lot of time worrying about those things, too. And in Bannon, they see a media-friendly, ethno-nationalist fellow traveler.
Latterly, Breitbart emerged as a nationalist site and done great stuff on immigration in particular, VDARE.com editor Peter Brimelow told The Daily Beast. VDare is a white supremacist site. Its named after Virginia Dare, the first white child born to British colonists in North America. Brimelow said he and Bannon met briefly last month and exchanged pleasantries about each others work.

Perhaps a more apt label would be, I don't know, "neo-Nazis".

(7 posts)On his Wiki page..it lists his daughter Maureen but NO spouse or other children. On Maureen's Wiki page it lists her as the "oldest daughter.." of Bannon.Nothing to be found on searching..something is being covered?Enquiring minds want to know...in the spirit of full disclosure, esp if he expects to trash Pres Clinton.

(7 posts)Hi-Thx for the "profile". It still doesn't address any personal stuff, other than"working class family"I really want to know why he is SO fixated on everyone else's sexual exploits...he comes across as ahuman..no personal stuff. Who doesn't list a wife/mother on Wiki?Just a hunch..there is something to be found out. Its like he sprang from Naval service into business with no life in between or since. This lapse in his Bio may be important when he starts to attack the Clintons.And we know he will go for the lowest info he can find.
