Yesterday, President-elect Donald Trump selected Steve Bannon to be his Chief Strategist in the White House.
Mr. Bannon is the brilliant mind that invented the on-line media presence known as Breitbart. Some of this publication’s headlines include:
Yesterday’s Headline:
“Meltdown continues: Wave of fake ‘hate crimes’ sweep social media”
In the recent past:
“Bill Kristol: Republican Spoiler, Renegade Jew”
“There’s no hiring bias against women in tech, they just suck at interviews”
“Gabby Giffords: The gun control movement’s human shield”
“Birth control makes women unattractive and crazy”
“The solution to online harassment is simple: Women should log off”
“Trump 100% vindicated: CBS reports swarm on rooftops celebrating 9/11”
“Data: Young Muslims in the west are a ticking time bomb, increasingly sympathising with radicals, terror”
I am NOT making this up people. I encourage you to visit their website yourself…
Mr. Trump’s outlandish comments and declarations during the campaign could conceivably be dismissed as politicking and ‘saying what it takes’ to get elected. However, Mr. Bannon’s headlines and journalistic pursuits are clear, unambiguous, definitive affirmation of his beliefs, interest, and where he wants to take America.
Mr. Bannon started Breitbart because – in part – he saw Fox News as not conservative enough. Paul Ryan is not his friend. The Republican Party is not his friend!
Mr. Bannon will be the CHIEF strategist. The individual that will define how to deal with protesters, climate change, and our international allies.
I can see the future Breitbart headlines:
“Protesters are all criminals and hoodlums”
“Climate change found to be a hoax”
“Japan wimps out; refuses to own nukes”
(Is it time we reach out to the sensible, traditional Republicans to identify where our agendas intersect and work to avoid this draconian extremist strategist from single-handily implementing his warped view of the world?!?)
