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.

I’d hate to be a journolist when Trump grows weary of their BS.

Backlash from who? The people who never supported him in the first place... that’s not a backlash...

Hey joe, you know all those people that hate you?

Yea?

THey don’t like what you just did?

Yea? So, you expected otherwise?

This isn’t a backlash, its just more of the same sour grapes.

Remember all the flack they gave Barack Obama when he appointed actual racists like Eric Holder, Loretta Lynch, Sonia Sotomayor? Yeah, me neither.

Trump needs to upgrade his asbestos suit for long-range use. His campaign suit is well worn and worked well for a year and a half. He now needs to prepare for four-to-eight years of sustained contention from all the Leftist entities that attacked him for the last year and a half.

He needs to double down on his resolve against these SOB’s. The Left will NEVER budge. The Left ALWAYS uses niceties like “unity” to move the Right more toward the Left. The Left NEVER moves to the Right.

To h#ll with ‘em. Screw “unity”, if the price is freedom, the constitutional rule of law, and our free Constitutional Republic. Trump was elected to Make America Great Again, not to unify with the Corrupt, Lying Left. Tell ‘em to pound sand and if they want unity JOIN US and re-join the U.S.

We know that liberalism is a certifiable mental condition.
Have you noticed they're incapable of hiding it when they're scared of someone? When they perceive a person can hurt them they become hysterical.

Bannon lurks in their most feverish nightmares; Trump needs to hang on to him for dear life.

You can save a lot of time by just re-writing the same things

“Trump faces backlash from appointing that evil [insert name here]”

You can use it over and over.

The entire script has already been written for the next 4 years, about any and everything Trump does. Just fill in the name as applicable: _________ is a terrible, racist, misogynist pig. _________ wants to reinstate slavery. ____________ is a known to kick puppies and pinch babies.

Sort of like when Obama faced backlash over Van Jones and ValJar.

Who cares. They’re not running the admin.

"Backlash." Pshaw! Backlash from whom? The very same leftist groups that wanted to see Trump dead to start with?

They can take their opinions and stuff them where the sun doesn't shine.

Exactly - backlash implies there is some type of price to be paid. Who the heck is handing Trump the bill for his choice of Bannon?

The left was gutted in the last election - there is nothing they can do.

They could and probably will scream louder, stamp their feet harder but that’s about it.

Time to buy the stock of companies producing diapers as these idiots will need them for the next 8 years.

The media screams and holds their breath and the next thing you know, good men like Dick Cheney are villains. They need to be given no quarter.

Elections have consequences. Trump won. The MSM basically trying to shape the narrative again. They will lose again.
