Trump’s alt-right-Jewish alliance

“I don’t know where [the criticism is] coming from; that’s not the Steve Bannon that I know”, Priebus said on ABC’s “Good Morning America” Monday. Under his leadership, the site pushed a nationalist, anti-establishment agenda and became one of the leading outlets of the so-called alt-right – a movement often associated with far-right efforts to preserve “white identity”, oppose multiculturalism and defend “Western values”.

“I can’t control that, nor can I fix or address it”.

Jones says Trump also told him he’d be making an appearance on the show in the next few weeks to thank Jones and his listeners personally. “We gotta do what we gotta do”.

Such opinions make Bannon an odd pairing with Reince Priebus, the Republican chairman whom Trump has named his chief of staff.

Stoltenberg said Tuesday that “it is a very normal thing that president-elect Donald Trump speaks to world leaders, including of course the leader of Russian Federation”.

“The racist, fascist extreme right is represented footsteps from the Oval Office”, John Weaver, who advised Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s 2016 presidential campaign, tweeted in response to the news. “He gave me a couple of war stories and I gave him a big hug”, he said.

Cramer later said that, in any case, the Republican party must not be hindered by conflict.

The Internal Revenue Service is corrupt, Marcus said, and now he’s anxious about the fairness of the Federal Bureau of Investigation and the Justice Department for the first time in his life. The question of how Bannon and Priebus will work together – or if they can – is one of the largest facing the new White House. But the former mayor said Monday night at a gathering of CEOs sponsored by the Wall Street Journal that he “won’t be attorney general” in Trump’s administration – a job for which he’d always been seen as a top contender.

That staffing decision would reinforce lingering concerns about Mr. Trump’s own views and intentions. Trump largely won the White House by doing just the opposite.

Asked what Republicans in Congress will do to assure Americans anxious about Bannon’s hiring, McCarthy demurred, instead choosing to draw attention to a painting of Washington crossing the Delaware River hanging in his office.

“And I think that is bad for our country”, Larsen said.

Ben Shapiro, a former Breitbart editor who also left following last spring and is now editor of the Daily Wire site, said he can’t imagine Bannon not continuing to have input on what Breitbart publishes. She emphasised Mr Bannon’s record as a former naval officer, Goldman Sachs managing partner and Hollywood producer.

Much has already been made of President-elect Donald Trump’s first appointments to his White House administration.

“Even if there is not actual anti-semitism or racism present with Trump’s advisors, there is sort of an acceptance of anti-semitic or racist sentiment”, says Dan Cassino, an expert on political psychology at New Jersey’s Fairleigh Dickinson University, and author of the recent book, Fox News and American Politics.

With regard to Steve Bannon’s prominent role and the possibility of friction between the White House and Congress, DesJarlais pled ignorance. “There’s a difference”, McCarthy said. “Other than that I didn’t really know there was a rift”, he said.

Bannon has in the past reportedly called for Ryan’s removal and gone on “rants” about the speaker to Breitbart staffers.

Democrats and liberals were in the site’s crosshairs, but mainstream Republican lawmakers also felt its lash, accused of failing to stand up strongly enough to President Barack Obama.
