News: Steve Bannon: 'I'm not a white nationalist"

Woo

Quote:

“How can you take anything seriously from a media apparatus — paid the amount of money you people are paid — that systematically missed something that was so obvious, that missed Brexit, that missed the Trump revolution?” Bannon said. “You’d have thought they’d have learned their lesson on Nov. 8.”

“They clearly haven’t,” he added.

Bannon said he wore the attacks on him as an “emblem of pride,” but also defended himself and Breitbart from accusations of racism.

“Breitbart is the most pro-Israel site in the United States of America,” he said, pushing back on charges that the right-wing outlet had trafficked in anti-Semitism. “I have Breitbart Jerusalem, which I have Aaron Klein run with about 10 reporters there. We’ve been leaders in stopping this BDS movement” -- referring to boycott, divestment and sanctions -- “in the United States; we’re a leader in the reporting of young Jewish students being harassed on American campuses; we’ve been a leader on reporting on the terrible plight of the Jews in Europe.”

what do we think about this ATRL

I believe Andrew Breitbart was Jewish too.

As I said in the other thread, white supremacists usually hate jews, so I think what he says is believable.

The rule of thumb is that when you have to come out and say that you aren't one, you probably are one.

Apparently his readers turned on him following the release:

Breitbart readers are attacking Steve Bannon after he denounced anti-Semites and racists. I'm not kidding.

So he's not a white supremacist because he supports a white nationalist state like Israel that is currently committing genocide on brown Palestinians?

"I support one of the few racialized groups to elevate themselves from oppressed to oppressor - I'm not a bigot!"

The site's been through several civil wars

They turned on one of Breitbart's main reporters when Corey rough housed and threw a female coworker out of a Trump rally and he stood up for her. The anti-semitic storm that followed the reporter was frightening.

What a disaster

Salacious

He is trash, but he has a point: media outlets and the DNC were completely blindsided by Trump's victory. They lost touch with reality, and that is a problem.

There are Jews of all nationalities residing in Israel, and many have roots in Asia and Africa. Palestinians are not brown. They are white. The majority of Palestine isn't located near the Gaza Strip (i.e., next to Egypt). Most Palestinians have white skin.

Actually, the trend for new white racists is to embrace white jews.

He obviously thinks we're stupid.

Scandal & Media

LOL, right.

Must be why he pulled his kids out of school to avoid Jews or why he cites literal white supremacists as inspiration for his website.
