Big Picture Fact Of The Day...

Big Picture Interview: Joe Madison, The Joe Madison Show/SiriusXM Urban View. Whatever semblance of a honeymoon existed between Democrats and president-elect Donald Trump vanished Sunday when he named Steve Bannon his chief White House strategist. Bannon - who was also CEO of the Trump campaign - is the former chairman of Breitbart News. Under his watch - Breitbart became the go-to website of the rebranded white nationalist movement known as the "alt-right" It regularly runs stories about how great the confederate flag is how feminism makes women ugly -and how evil Muslim refugees are coming to ravage a community near you. Breitbart also has an entire section for stories about “black crime" - whatever that means. As if promoting race hate wasn't bad enough - Steve Bannon apparently thinks just like his audience. According to court documents, he once told his ex-wife that he didn’t want their daughters attending a certain private school in LA because “too many whiny Jews” went there. Not surprisingly - Democrats are furious that someone like Bannon is about to serve as the righthand man of the president - and many have called on Trump to rescind his appointment altogether. But not everyone is upset about the fact that an apparent racist and anti-Semite is about to work in the White House. White nationalists - including the chair of the American Nazi Party - are thrilled about the Bannon pick. They say it shows that Trump is on their side. This is about as close as it gets to a nightmare scenario for progressives - and the country.
