About the campaign strategist who will now join President-elect Donald Trump in the White House:
“Before joining Trump’s team, Bannon spearheaded Breitbart’s shift into a forum for the ‘alt-right,’ a loose online confederation of neo-Nazis, white supremacists and anti-Semitics. Bannon’s hiring by Trump’s campaign this year signaled the businessman’s dedication to operating outside the norms of Washington,” Reuters reports.
“Under Bannon’s leadership, the Breitbart site presented a number of conspiracy theories about Clinton as well as Republicans deemed to be lacking in conservative bona fides.”

Update: Breitbart, published by the senior advisor to the president elect, still has a category called Black Crime: https://t.co/0IJV9SYio0 https://t.co/x3anCsGkzp

Critics say Bannon is a white nationalist, while white nationalists say Bannon is in fact a white nationalist

Folks, it’s real simple. Good, decent, inclusive Americans who believe in equality, do not get praised by the American Nazi Party and KKK. https://t.co/39jQuWabWI

Steve to Tim: This is Hans. He voted for Hitler. This is Ernst. He voted for German Clinton . . .
Also, these memes are always about two white people. What about . . . ‘This is a white person who voted for Trump. This is a Muslim/Mexican/Black who voted for Clinton. They should still be friends.’
Tim to Steve: This is Ernst. He voted for Clinton. This is Hitler. He voted for Trump.
