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.

Yep wapo and others will keep this up for 8 yrs. Trump and Republicans just need to plow ahead and solidify things in law. Next 4 yrs congressional elections are in our favor. Who else will blow the libs minds for the next appointment? Haha
Those are OUR jets now...
The same media backlash as when Soebarkah was appointing commies, aztlans and moehammedans wherever he could?
A senior Washington Post editor is an owner of politics and prose which has an FBI recognized pedophile symbol in their logo and is next to Comet pizza.
The people spoke he gets to do what he wants when he wants. These parasites will never agree with anyone or anything he does form this point on f em
“Trump faces backlash over appointing Bannon as a top aide”
ROTFLOL!
Gonna be LOTS more “backlashes” coming folks! Like Trump or any of we supporters of his give a crap about “backlashes” from the now completely irrelevant dinosaur enemedia, or the defeated GOPe, or the defeated neo-cons, or the defeated Clinton Party, or any other of their defeated minions.
So, impotently “backlash” away all you like if it makes you feel better; it’s certainly giving me some great laughs!
I don’t want them to move... I want them to go away. Permanently.
Boy these people are full of themselves. Trump just won an election with Bannon. He would face backlash if he didn’t keep Bannon. The American people have already repudiated The Washington Post. It has no influence anymore.
Trump must reject this out-of-hand. Give them an early scalp and they will just repeat with the next person until there is nobody left.

“I want Milo to be the press secretary.”
Fantastic choice in my opinion, for many different reasons.
Trump could have appointed Mother Theresa and he’d still get a backlash. Stick to his guns and support his appointee.
i’ve seen both claims.... that this fellow is clean as a whistle (I sure hope so, he looks pretty capable otherwise) or else claims he’s a dirty rotten racist bigot
after 8 years of racist bigotry in our WHouse, I sure hope this guy’s OK
I am willing to give Mr. Trump the benefit of the doubt at this point, too....the commies have beena accusing Mr. Trump of racism all through their dirty campaign and nobody ever producted one whit of evidence supporting that claim
No, the people who have been lying about him for the last 18 mos want to choose his cabinet.
Pray America woke
They need to be sued under the antitrust laws. Then they won’t be there 4 years from now.
You mean Black-Lash don’t you?
HAHAHA. This is hilarious. No matter who Trump appoints to any position that person will be portrayed as a nazi racist bigot homophobe transphobe, etc.
This would be fun to test and have Trump nominate Bernie Sanders to his cabinet. Let’s see how they destroy Bernie and then have TRump dump him and then they will be apoplectic.
“They will be as vicious, if not moreso, as they report on the president-elect.”
Indeed. But what they don’t realize is that they finally rendered themselves completely irrelevant. Pretty much all they’re good for now is reporting on Trump’s tweets after the fact, and if Trump doesn’t like what they report, he can IMMEDIATELY respond BACK with MORE tweets!
At least it wasn’t a whitelash...oh, the horror!
WHO CARES? Elections have consequences and the DEPLORABLES now rule the roost. Suck up and get a life to all the weenies out there. Blankies and safe spaces are things of the past. Grow up or Get OUT.
Certain further right sites I may or may not happen to frequent find Bannon mostly all right except that he does not share their beliefs on the erm... so called “Jewish Question.”
