Is the Bannon Appointment Scaring You
Apr 4, 2017, 1:06 PM
|

I was not happy with the Trump victory but was starting to accept it as what will be the political norm for the next four years and will honestly give him a chance to prove himself (I'm a moderate that voted for Hilary but has usually gone GOP over the last 2 cycles). However, I cannot get past how much the fact that one of Trump's two top advisers has direct ties to the white nationalist Alt-Right movement with his connections to the Breitbart News Network, which is a conspiracy rag. Beyond that he has stated the website is a platform for their beliefs and has a top goal of blowing up the GOP. I know that many of you will say this is propaganda from the liberal media, however that is just not true. The more you fact check, the more weight the story holds. I am baffled that America got to this point and was wondering if anyone else in the Clemson Family is terrified by this decision. We basically have a White House setup with Bannon backing Trump's populist message up against Priebus who supports Paul Ryan and the tradition GOP platform.

I'm not one to paint with a broad brush but there seems to be enough evidence here to at least be concerned.

are we going to create an aryan army a purge the country? What can possibly happen?
There was plenty of evidence that Obama attended a racist church when he was elected.
You would have to believe Trump is a racist to believe that the country is going to be steered in some white supremacist direction. That, I think is bunk.

I don't think this is a left/right issue.

Or at least it shouldn't be. But I may be naive in assuming that the Republicans would not want someone with these ties in their administration.

all that I know about him (I heard his name for the first time on Monday) I got from a bunch of biased and opinionated media members, which is the same place you got your information about him from, if you are honest with yourself.
