President-elect Donald Trump faces a growing backlash against his decision to name campaign chairman and former Breitbart News head Stephen K. Bannon as chief strategist at the White House, a choice critics say will empower white nationalists.

A chorus of advocacy groups, commentators and congressional Democrats denounced Bannon as a proponent of racist, anti-Semitic and misogynistic views as Trump began his first full week as president-elect. Trump named Bannon his chief strategist and senior counselor on Sunday while also appointing Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus to be his chief of staff.

The Left will try to destroy anyone who is successful in fighting them. Trump likely will ignore them.

Tough $hit. I guarantee we’re going to see 8 years of this kind of whining, crying and gnashing of teeth, even as the economy booms, unemployment plummets and the people generally flourish.

Unlike all the other Republicans in recent years Trump will not be backing down.

This wouldn’t be the same WaPo which routinely attacked Mr. Trump, lied about his statistics, and acted as a mouthpiece for the DNC throughout the campaign, would it?

So why should we care what a failing newspaper says now?

This reminds me of the nonsense they tried pulling over John Ashcroft being made W’s attorney general.

I love it when IRRELEVANT MORONS think they can demand anything after they just got their butts whipped in one of the most humiliating losses in political history, lol!!!

The grown ups are about to be in charge, so scream, holler and throw all the temper tantrums you want but be prepared to suffer even more ridicule and scorn.

‘a choice critic’

Yeah, took them a while to find a critic who was claim Trump might have a backlash over the Bannon appointment.

The media has not changed. They are coming out of the stupor they had last week. They will be as vicious, if not moreso, as they report on the president-elect.
