Steve Bannon: ‘Darkness is good’

Bannon, a former Navy officer and Goldman Sachs investment banker who was accused of anti-Semitism by his ex-wife, called the Breitbart news website he ran “the platform for the alt-right”. “We will create a completely new political movement”, said the 62-year-old, who is fiercely controversial because of his closeness to the Ku Klux Klan, white nationalists and anti-Semites, the “Hollywood Reporter”.

The Trump campaign has described him in more positive terms.

The controversy surrounding his appointment has been so great that Bannon has even been featured on an episode of South Park.

“We are encouraged that President-elect Trump and the new Congress will pursue policies that will improve U.S. competitiveness and make it possible to keep production of this vehicle here in the United States”, the company said. If anything, he finds the negative attention motivating.

“I have total peace in my heart, in my spirit that. he is not whatsoever associated (with) or entertains any of those groups”, LeVell said.

Bannon became chief executive of Trump’s campaign in August. Israel’s ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer said Bannon is someone he looks forward to collaborating with.

“They got it more wrong than anybody”.

A spokeswoman for Mr Bannon previously denied the allegations.

In the Wall Street Journal interview, Bannon also asserted that “in the United States; we’re a leader in the reporting of young Jewish students being harassed on American campuses; we’ve been a leader on reporting on the bad plight of the Jews in Europe”. Of course Bannon and Trump may do things differently but in the Obama White House the job was explained by The New York Times to be “equal parts counselor, confidant, strategist and truth-teller”. Rather, he considers himself a “nationalist” and “economic nationalist”.

According to the New York-based newspaper, he blamed the attacks on a lazy media apparatus.

The congress members said that millions of Americans have expressed fear and concern about how they will be treated by the Trump Administration, adding that Trump’s appointment Bannon “only exacerbates and validates their concerns”. Darth Vader (a fictional character in the “Star Wars” universe).

Trump’s transition to power has so far been rocky, according to US media reports, with some reports even suggesting the administration is in disarray as it tries to fill more than 1,000 positions in the next couple of months before Trump takes charge. “When they’re blind to who we are and what we’re doing”, he said in an interview published Friday, his first outside of Breitbart since the election. This has been a large plank of Trump’s campaign as well, so it makes sense that he would want Bannon as his Chief Strategist. Steve Scalise (La.), Steve King (Iowa) and Kevin McCarthy (Calif.).

“He’s got no intention of making peace with anybody”, the source said. Bannon is now on leave from Breitbart while working for Trump.
