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.

Mother Teresa would be labeled a hate filled misogynist racist if she were alive and had been selected at Trump’s chief of staff.

It doesn’t matter. The un-remorseful, unashamed MSM will bash Trump’s choices no matter who he picks. Period.

The next 4 years are going to be pure sweetness for me. Let the gnats rage against the machine. It just adds to my entertainment.

Let the liberal cities burn embracing their own anarchist rioters. I am LMAO.

“The American people have already repudiated The Washington Post. It has no influence anymore.”

Indeed. But WaPo hasn’t figure that out ... yet.

Same here.

Would be a nice dig against Twitter’s use of a racist’s allegations to silence him.

That, and he can make a mockery of the “press”.

“Trump must reject this out-of-hand.”

The worst thing Trump can do to them is to just completely ignore them as being completely irrelevant.

Trump can communicate with the country via tweet, FB, and other social media. The dinosaur enemedia can then report on such direct communications after the fact if they so choose, but it will no longer be “news”, AND the enemedia will no longer control the narrative.

>>>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!!!<<<

Those demands have been effective in the past. Take for example how GW Bush seems to have went out of his way to be a nice guy. Unfortunately for him the left still painted him as the most dimwitted guy to ever be president. I don’t know why the left’s criticisms have had so much power in the past, but I hope Trump ignores their wailing and gnashing of teeth. Or he can just come out and tell them to ESAD. Either way works.

They’ve already long ago labeled Mother Teresa a hate filled misogynist racist because she showed up Hill-Billy at a National Prayer Breakfast by making an anti-abortion statement, drawing cheers from the participants, but embarrassing the shit out of the pro-abortion President and First Lady. Left has been out to get her, and her legacy ever since.

I always get a good laugh when the Rats act like WE are the racist.....

Backlash away. I hope our President-Elect keeps Bannon and tells the press to cram it. Gloves off. Sick of this politically correct bullshit.

I want Milo to be the press secretary.

I understand that Milo made an important contribution to the Trump victory, but he still scares horses and children.

Oh, piff. Some need a reason for whining, others just seek an opportunity.

thanks
well, i can only guess what it all means....
but if any group or board actually is racist enough to have a “Jewish Question” then it is a VERY GOOD signal that they do not agree about it with this Mr. Bannon fellow

Go TRUMP!

I pray Trump forces the Labor Department to report the true unemployment numbers. We need to know what is really going with the labor force. The reporting of only those drawing unemployment is not and has not ever been factually correct.

Democrats denounced Bannon>>>>>>>>>>>>

Which means that Bannon is exactly the right choice.

They lost the election. They have nothing at all to say
about who Trump chooses.

Suck it up dems. You did the same amd worse to everyone in 2008.

Fire for effect Donald!

Trump “faces backlash” from WaPo and its tribe over everything he might possibly do or refrain from doing.
