Donald Trump's New Campaign C.E.O. Recorded Using Anti-gay Slur

source: Vanity Fair



" Donald Trump has cycled through a series of campaign leaders, each brought on to remedy the Republican nominee’s head-spinning presidential bid, but each turning into a headache himself. The latest campaign savior turned liability is former Breitbart News executive Stephen Bannon, who Trump named his campaign C.E.O. earlier this month. The campaign shake-up, which included the elevation of G.O.P. pollster Kellyanne Conway to campaign manager, was at the time seen as both a slight and solution to Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chairman, who was drawing unwanted attention over his controversial business ties to Russia and Ukraine. But in the two weeks since Bannon took the helm, Trump’s campaign has been rocked by a string of allegations against the media firebrand, including a decades-old domestic-abuse charge. And the bad press isn’t stopping.

The latest of Bannon’s past transgressions to come to light is a comment he made in a five-year-old interview, in which he calls progressive women “dykes.” In a 2011 radio interview with Political Vindication Radio, Bannon said that conservative women—such as Ann Coulter, Michele Bachmann, and Sarah Palin—are an “existential threat to the progressive narrative” and as a result “there are some unintended consequences of the women’s liberation movement. That, in fact, the women that would lead this country would be pro-family, they would have husbands, they would love their children,” he said, as BuzzFeed News first reported. “They wouldn’t be a bunch of dykes that came from the Seven Sisters schools up in New England. That drives the left insane and that’s why they hate these women,” Bannon continued.

are the 2 main things people see as huge choices from a presidential candidate to help determine if they're worth voting for - and he has failed miserably. I don't know how many campaign heads he's had, it feels like too many, and his VP nominee is one of the most anti-gay bigots in an elected position. This doesn't even include his own awful comments!

Sure are a lot of misguided people out there even if this trainwreck of a candidate was at 20%! It's sad he's at 40+.

purveyed by Limbaugh, et al, for the past 25 years. I sincerely hope that those liars have a conscience and that it awakens before they shuffle off this mortal coil.
