So it seems Congressional Republicans aren't going to say anything bad about the Donald's choice for chief advisor, Steve Bannon, despite the fact that Bannon was editor of a website known as a hub for racist, anti-Semitic, and misogynistic political movements. They've clearly received talking points that emphasize his naval service and time as a Goldman Sachs employee, as if these pieces of his curriculum vitae somehow negate or absolve him of the abhorrent far right associations. I say the fact that he's well-educated and has served his country make things far, far more damning for him. This guy has no excuse for what we might call ignorant or benighted positions - he's simply an intellectual racist. You say we should give him a break because he was a Naval officer? I say he dishonors the uniform by his rancid, un-American politics. This guy doesn't belong in government employ, let alone the White House. The Republicans have bit into a real shit sandwich here. This one's going to haunt them as long as Bannon's around the White House, and rightly so.
