Anyone who is surprised at the appointment of right-wing guru Steve Bannon as the Donald Trump administration's chief strategist and counselor has been living in an alternate universe, the universe in which President-elect Trump would "pivot" into something resembling a mainline GOP conservative.
And anyone who is amazed at Trump's temerity in putting a white nationalist into the White House has gravely misunderstood the power of racism in fueling his campaign, and the desire to "turn back the clock" to a time when white men supposedly ruled supreme.
Above all, they've forgotten the cardinal rule of Trumpworld: attachment to profit and the Trump brand is a means of increasing influence and power over others. As CEO of Breitbart News, Bannon is key to that strategy, in America and beyond.

Evidence of racism is weak? It’s non existent. For all of the author’s ranting about Bannon being a racist, there is not one scintilla of evidence presented.
who is falling for it? lol
This is not a typical pol that whimpers when the media barks like every other wussified republican in DC.
Simple yet it explains so much of how the MSM comes up with their labels. Thanks for the input.
No disagreement here, I was just being the kind teacher that gives the slow student partial credit for getting her name right on the paper and turning it in on time.
The only way this slander stops is by suing them into oblivion.
Typical leftist rant: nothing but name-calling, with not a single specific example, just painting with a broad brush.
I don't know of any reason for him to be accused like this. It is a case of them letting us know who they fear the most.
ROFL.
I was just being the Mean Girl.
She’s a 56 year old History Professor at NYU who from what I can determine is how her vagina feels about white men battling (WWI, etc.)......and how that should completely rewrite our thoughts about what we know about history.
Trump's JEWISH DAUGHTER and JEWISH SON IN LAW would NEVER let Bannon around IF he were an anti-Semite....therefore he is NOT an ANTI-SEMITE!!
Read his bio....he is really great!
Her evidence isn’t just “weak” - it’s virtually nonexistent. A collection a lot of “three word bites” that she transcends into some vast and supposedly universal white supremacy axioms....very weird thinking.
At the end she says that we’re gonna have [The] Axis 2.0 with Trump and Le Pen......(dumb bunny forgot to add Putin I guess).
She’s really very messy and incomplete in her scholarship.
If you love western civilization and Americas traditions then you are already a white nationalist regardless your skin color
If you are a Christian then you’re a white nationalist kleagle
If you are all that and Southern...specially Deep South
Then you’re Grand Dragon!
If you’re all that and moved to Sandpoint Idaho or the Upper Penninsula to live your libertarian wild self
Congrats!
You’re now Reinhard Heydrich or a Boy from Brasil
Your pick
That’s good because I have been in a running “disagreement” with a liberal family member who is citing Bannon as an example of President Trump’s inherent racism. I need ammo in this “fight”.
She does nothing of the kind.
Ben-Ghiat doesn’t provide a single example of Bannon’s alleged “racism.”
Her allegations should be easy enough to substantiate.
After all, the Left is convinced Trump is the Second Coming Of Hitler.
When you get past the headline, you discover that its a long fact-free diatribe against Trump.
Academic standards have dropped since I was a young man.
This article would never have been allowed near my graduate school classes. And CNN publishes this tripe.
Its embarrassing. Call white people racist long enough and you can see they are. Liberal Circular Logic 101 at work.
This is what passes for intellectual reasoning in our country.
Is it me, or did I not see a single example of how Mr. Bannon is a “white nationalist” in this CNN screed?
Constitutionalists are a genuine threat, unlike GOPe statist fellow travelers. So they release the hounds of hyperbole on us with extreme animation.
Bunch of racist hogwash.
How come that bigot hasn’t been fired from CNN?
CNBC received the memo as well. Just a few minutes ago a reporter was saying Breitbart attracts white supremacists. I’ve never seen such an unending stream of sewage as the one known as the mainstream media.
