Dem rep: Steve Bannon 'is a stone cold racist'
Hill ^

Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-N.Y.) on Friday accused President Trump's senior adviser Steve Bannon of being "a stone cold racist and a white supremacist sympathizer."

Jeffries on Friday told MSNBC that any meeting between Trump and the Congressional Black Caucus must exclude Bannon.

"We're looking forward to an open dialogue, but Steve Bannon should not be in the room," Jeffries said.

Asked to elaborate on his position, he said that he does not wish to normalize Bannon.

"Well listen he's a stone cold racist and a white supremacist sympathizer. It'd be hard for me to participate in any meeting with Steve Bannon that normalizes his presence in the White House," he said. Numerous Trump aides have defended Bannon in the past, maintaining that he is not racist.

Jeffries also said the Congressional Black Caucus would be interested in having a meeting with Trump "if he in fact is genuinely interested in working on issues of importance to black America."

Trump was asked at a press conference Thursday why he has not met with the Black Caucus. In reply, the president said he would meet with the group, asking reporter April Ryan, who is black, if she could help set up a meeting.

"He's a racist and white supremacist."

"Oh, really? Why do you say that?"

"I refuse to explain. You'll just have to take my word for it."

And Jeffries is a race-baiting fool.

Why would he want to work with the administration? He, like other race-baiters, is invested in division.

Americans of all races that truly care about America and all races need to rid themselves of leeches like this. They are fitting for nothing but controversy!

You simply do not get any more stone cold racist than the Congressional Black Caucus. Period.

And Trump has defined those interests as inner city crime. Repeatedly!

Say what? Sheesh, what an asshole.

How can you determine if someone is a racist if all their actions prove otherwise?

I mean Bannon ran breitbart and breitbart employed a virtual rainbow of races and sexes and whatnot....

I guess “Conservatives of Color” need not apply to these Calculations....

"We're looking forward to an open dialogue, but Steve Bannon should not be in the room," Jeffries said.

Interpretation: we like open dialogues, as long as our views are the only ones open for dialoguing.

They should listen to their own mentor and hero, Chairman Mao: 百花運動. Let a hundred flowers bloom; let a hundred schools of thought contend.

Oh, he didn't mean it, either.

I'm tired of whiny children parading as adults.

Actually, all of the racists who hate Bannon can’t be in the room, so no meeting. Calling Bannon a racist is not only a lie, but should be prosecuted if no clear evidence is presented. People need to start paying for lying.

The irony of the comment is no doubt lost on the representative.
