Trump names new senior aides who are a sharp contrast

WASHINGTON — With his first two key personnel appointments, President-elect Donald Trump made an overture to Republican circles by naming GOP chief Reince Priebus as his White House chief of staff and fired a shot across the Washington establishment's bow by tapping Breitbart News executive Stephen Bannon as chief strategist and senior counselor.

The two men had made up the president-elect's chief of staff shortlist, and while Priebus received that job, Bannon's post also is expected to wield significant clout. The media executive with ties to the alt-right and white nationalist movement was given top billing in the press release announcing their appointments.

Doea anybody know where this statement comes from: Bannon....with ties to white nationalist movement......?????

Then later in the story, it claims that Bannon’s ex-wife says Bannon did not want their child to attend a school with Jews....a claim Bannon has denied.

The slander continues.

Trump’s Jewish daughter and Jewish son in law would NEVER have let him hire Bannon if he was an anti-Semite!! KNOCK THIS CRAP DOWN!

On Morning Joe just now...

One of the reasons the Left lost this election is that people are on to them and there are alternatives to the MSM channels.

These leftist "news" sources won't learn from their mistakes and as a result will continue to shrink in size.

Yes, good points!

I will remember that when my liberal family members try to assail me with this article’s assertions that Bannon is anti-Jewish.

Also, here is more garbage from the article:

Under Bannon’s tenure, Brietbart pushed a nationalist agenda and became one of the leading outlets of the so-called alt-right — a movement often associated with white supremacist ideas that oppose multiculturalism and defend “Western values.”

John Weaver, a Republican strategist who worked for Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s presidential campaign, tweeted, “The racist, fascist extreme right is represented footsteps from the Oval Office. Be very vigilant, America.”

(worked for John Kasich - enough said).

This makes me furious.

The Left hates Breitbart.

He was at Breitbart.

You’re right. The MSM propaganda has been just as viciously anti-Trump and deceptive as it was before the election. There’s no indication they’ve learned their lesson.

Something needs to be done about them. They are not representing free speech. They are representing anti-American propaganda and agitation, in some cases, no doubt, on behalf of foreign interests. We cannot have American’s main source of information continue to be so utterly corrupt and dishonest.

What is wrong with LOVING your country i.e. Nationalism?? And what is wrong with wanting AMerican culture instead of Multiculturism?? They want a STEW....we want a MELTING POT!!

This CRAP needs to be knocked down...NOW before it gets into the blood stream of America.

Yes, I know he was at Breitbart and the left hates Breitbart - mostly because, I thought, it publishes the TRUTH which they hate.

But where does this “white nationalist movement” charge come from? Do you know?

Agree. America first (nationalism) is not a curse word to anyone but the globalists and their allies, the MSM.

But where is this “white” nationalist coming from?

Diamond and Silk, the two black ladies who have been eloquent spokesmen for Donald Trump said in their recent rant that Bannon was hugging them and kissing them and they saw NONE of this “racist” attitude the left claims Bannon has.

In 2004, Weaver appeared in the documentary film (based on the 2003 book of the same name) Bush's Brain: How Karl Rove Made George W. Bush Presidential, which alleges that Karl Rove, former campaign manager and Deputy White House Chief of Staff to President George W. Bush, was behind a South Carolina push poll during the 2000 Republican primary that used racist innuendo to undermine support for McCain by asking voters: "Would you be more likely or less likely to vote for John McCain for president if you knew he had fathered an illegitimate black child?"[5] In the film, Weaver assigns blame to Rove, stating "I believe I know where that decision was made; it was at the top of the [Bush] campaign".

WOW!! As we now can see, John Weaver is THE RACIST, FACIST!!!

Here is the link to Diamond and Silk’s latest rant that includes the refutation of the charge that Stephen Bannon is a racist.....I don’t have the place in the video where they say this, but I am still looking.

Some of the things they complain about are things we should embrace! But they roll everything into one stew and make it hard to separate.

white supremacist: No. I don’t support that. Few conservatives do.
“Western values”: Yes, I’m all on board with that. Don’t say it like it’s a bad thing.
multiculturalism: Depends on what you mean. If you mean you are trying to foist foreign cultures on the American population, then yes, I very much oppose that. If you mean that other cultures should not exist then no. I think it’s great to travel and experience other cultures. I just don’t want them forced down my throat here in an attempt to replace my culture.

Stop paying them would be a good start. I have not had cable tv for 10 years. Do not miss it a bit.

I would sign up again if they offered a la carte but I will not pay for liberal propaganda being piped into my home.
