Walker Won’t Weigh In On Trump’s Bannon Appointment

Bannon, who publishes online news website Breitbart, is being lambasted by a number of liberal groups for what they call promoting racist ideology in his publication.

The lawmakers said Bannon has a history of making anti-Semitic and racist comments that disqualify him from serving in the White House.

We strongly believe that Mr. Bannon’s appointment will not allow the country to heal and come together as one.

Meanwhile, Bannon has developed a platform for the “alt-right” to spew hatred.

Bannon was charged with domestic violence and battery in 1996 after his then-wife, Mary Louise Piccard, said he grabbed her by the throat and arm during an argument.

“He doesn’t care. He’s just doing what he has to do”.

“Steve Bannon is a Zionist, he is someone who is so solidly pro-Israel, he went and founded Breitbart Jerusalem”, Miller explained, before mentioning his time “mentoring African-Americans youth”.

The political power-player and Navy veteran told THR’s Michael Wolff from Trump Tower in NY that critics who demonize his nationalist movement are making the same mistake Democrat Hillary Clinton’s campaign did before a defeat on Election Day. “Unfortunately, your appointment of Stephen Bannon, whose ties to the White Nationalist movement have been well-documented, directly undermines your ability to unite the country”, the letter read.

Donald Trump’s chief strategist rejects being categorized as a “white nationalist”.

At the same time, Bannon used the interview to embrace his image as an outsider.

But he added: “Darkness is good”. “Dick Cheney. Darth Vader”.

We are trying to be open minded about the election of Donald Trump. Steve Scalise (La.), Steve King (Iowa) and Kevin McCarthy (Calif.).

The choice of Steve Bannon as Trump’s chief of staff is taking heat from US media, members of Congress, and left-leaning groups over the decision.

Yet Bannon also has prominent defenders, with Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus recently lauding him as “very wise and smart”.

“This isn’t the kind of person I think ought to be advising the president – this is the kind of person a president-elect should be avoiding at all costs”, said Democratic Rep. Rick Larsen.

“The media bubble is the ultimate symbol of what’s wrong with this country”, he continues.

So who is this Mr. Bannon?

“Bannon has gone full honey badger”, said a Bannon ally. “He’s on the hunt and he’s going to drain the swamp”.
