Related: About this forumEx-Breitbart spokesman: Bannon (Trump CEO) talked like a white supremacist
http://www.mediaite.com/online/ex-breitbart-spokesman-bannon-ran-meetings-like-a-white-supremacist-rally/As the media and political worlds continue reacting to Donald Trumps campaign shake-up, a former employee for one of the moguls new hires is speaking out about how much racist rhetoric he casually throws out on a regular basis.
Kurt Bardella used to work under Stephen Bannon at Breitbart, where he served as the conservative websites spokesman. Bardella walked away from the site in March as part of the staff protest that took place when Breitbart seemingly proved its allegiance to the Trump campaign by siding against their own reporter during the Corey LewandowskiMichelle Fields saga.
Bardella spoke on ABC News Powerhouse Politics this week, where he described how Bannon would frequently rip on minorities, women, and immigrants during Breitbart editorial meetings.
If anyone sat there and listened to that call, youd think that you were attending a white supremacist rally, said Bardella. This is someone who has a very low moral compass, and the idea that this is the type of person that Donald Trump, as the Republican nominee, as president, would have closest to him is very disturbing.

The Trump campaign isn't exactly shy about white supremacy. Now, it'll be actually encouraged.
