Taibbi on Trump

Steve Bannon, through his personal and business dealings has proven to be an anti-Semite, a bigot, a racist and a misogynist.

That’s a complete fabrication, and it’s being debunked by the hour almost. I listened to Alan Dershowitz yesterday, and today I listened to David Horowitz, and they’re both literally laughing at this lie of the left unfolding in front of their very eyes. It’s completely unfounded.

Yeah its so stupid, monumentally stupid to think that Trump who has a daughter, son in law and grandchildren who are JEWISH would have as his closest advisor an anti-semite. Liberalism is a mental disorder.

The binary nature of the defense is just tiresome.

He allowed Orthodox Jews to be observant so he can’t be anti-Semitic?

Trust me when I say this, X.

Do NOT carry any water for Steve Bannon. You’ll be betrayed…in principle…and realize you’ve defended a monster. And that’s not you.

All this bullshit right now is propaganda, circling the wagons, putting lipstick on a pig…call it what you will.

What this election has pointed out that there have been sellouts in every corner. Why should it be surprising to find a few media sellouts work at Breitbart? And they get to actually use the defense, “I can’t be a sellout, cuz I’m an orthodox Jew?”

Yeah…no. Oh, and no one ever said a White nationalist site couldn’t ALSO be pro-Israel. Those things aren’t mutually exclusive. There are plenty of Evangelical Christians who fit that demo perfectly.

And anti-Semite is only ONE of the issues with Steve Bannon. Only. One.

I really won’t have to worry about indicting Bannon because he either directly or by putting words in Trumps mouth will indict himself. And probably pretty quickly.

Seriously. If Bill Clinton or Obama had appointed a guy with the exact opposite viewpoints, would you be feeling the same way? On principle you should, but would you? If not, then it’s not a matter of principle, but content and context and I would entreat you to reexamine who this guy is without the media filter (right and left).

He’s even more disturbing than the media so far has made him out to be because the MSM still won’t take responsibility for trying to rig the election for Hillary and being part of her strategy to elevate Trump because the Clinton campaign and media strategists felt he was the most beatable.

In the mean time, I’m gonna catch up on some movies. The Big Short and Spotlight were good. I’d binge on Westworld, but I’m all caught up…dammit.

I’m not carrying water. I’m fact-checking. The MSM was SO quick to call this guy an anti-semite, and they did absolutely nothing in the way of investigative journalism to substantiate the claim. Just picked up a sound byte and a few lines of text and ran with a libelous story. I’ve been watching and listening to interviews all day about this very subject, and it’s completely baseless. I’m doing more investigation into this than the likes of Don Lemon, I can tell you that much.
