Hah! I wonder ... did they get a phone call from one of Trump’s lawyers?

It doesn’t matter because once the accusation is out there liberals will continue to repeat it. Watch.

Notice the author of this piece?

Joel Pollak is an observant Jew and good friend and former co-worker of Bannon.

He is also a good friend and former researcher of Prof Dershowitz who has also spoken out in support of Bannon.

It appears that ADL supporters in the Jewish community, including some liberals, see Bannon as good for Jews in the US and good for Israel and have come together to apply pressure on the ADL to cease and desist.

ADL’s lawyers have told ‘em that their ass is vulnerable to libel suits by Breitbart and that they should back down.

What happened is all these advocacy groups and the liberal media forgot that this is Donald Trump not you typical Republican, (or they were just testing to see if maybe Trump had morphed after his victory). See normally what would happen is the liberal media would throw out the “race card”, Republicans would rush out to apologize, the target of the attack would quickly withdraw their nomination (after strong pressure from the party) and the liberal media would claim another scalp. This time Trump and his supporters just yawned, and said, “You say Bannon is a racist? Prove it.”

They also have no proof of:

“the alt right, a loose network of white nationalists and anti-Semites.”

Who “OWNS” alt right?
Who gets to define it?

The left will take any opportunity to falsely apply the racist label.

The ADL is another group that abuses the US nonprofit laws. They do this kind of stuff to raise $$$ and the only reason they would back off is that the Jewish community pushed back in this

The head of the ADL makes over $500k a year.

"ADL--get with the program. Make up some stuff!

I have a bunch of staffers available to help you get it done."


Love, Hillary

The smears have been all over the media. Will this be all over the media? Or buried on page 37.

Accusations of Bannon’s alleged anti Semetism came from his ex wife during a nasty divorce. It seems the ADL considered the source and exercised some intellectual honesty.

“Trump is showing how to fight the Left. Confront them. Make them prove what they claim...if they can.”

and when they cannot they should NOT take a retraction for the end of it....get a financial bounty.

>> ADL “While there is a long fact pattern of evidence that Breitbart served as a platform for a wide range of bigotry...”

Fact pattern? Sounds like Common Core twaddle.

Any and every form opposition to the Democrat Thug Party is tantamount to “bigotry & hate”.

wish Trump would find a way to destroy the SPLC

They are rotten and will continue to rot from the inside, as do all diseased Leftist cabals.

To elicit this kind of retraction from the ADL is yuge.

The President-elect and his chief strategist now can use the ADL's words as a shield, and as a battle standard going forward.

MAGA!
