Well, I expected this degree of fallout. Here are my expectations for the rest of the cabinet:
"Too much of an insider."
"Not experienced enough."
"Too controversial."
"Too safe."
"Too white."
"He's just hiring minorities for the sake of pandering."
"He's alienating his base."
"He's alienating the establishment."
"You call that draining the swamp?"
I have no idea who this person is, just heard on the news that he's apparently an antisemite? lol Guess not enough people were pissed off yet, wouldn't want to leave the jews out of the triggerfest.
I think its a terrible decision. He is the chairman at Breitbart and will be Trumps Chief Strategist. Breitbart has a terrible reputation for being racist, and just bigotted in general.
I can't find much on Bannon himself that would make him look like an antisemitic, racist or white supremacist but his association with Breitbart may be indication enough.
Furthermore having the chairman of a far right propaganda machine having Trumps ear is actually pretty scary.

If the past year has taught you anything, it's that such labels should be taken with a grain of salt. He's an "anti-Semite" in that he's with Breitbart, Breitbart is viewed as the alt-right, and the alt-right is seen as being associated with anti-Semitism. It's a six degrees of Kevin Bacon method of proving that he's Hitler incarnate and that he seeks a final solution for the Jewish problem.
-is motivated to repeal abortion laws to revert control back to state level and in the interview said women will just have to go to another state for their abortions if they happen to be in one of those states banning it.
This is incorrect and being spun about the media. He stated that the he may nominated anti-aborting justices but not that he was going to directly go against Roe v. Wade. He said that it was settled and he is ok with that. The questions took him further and asked him what would happen if his justices did overturn that and that is where his response comes from.
I am not excited about what justice he picks but the media is having a bs field day with that interview.
Aside from Bannon's white nationalist popularity, I don't see how an ex Goldman Sachs investment banker fits in with Trump's anti-corruption agenda. Clinton got ***for being cozy with Wall Street and here he his hiring someone who made their wealth in the very business Trump claims to not be beholden to.
