for his daughter.
The ex-wife of Donald Trump's new campaign chief executive Steve Bannon claims Bannon made anti-Semitic comments while the couple fought over which private school to send their daughters to nearly a decade ago.
<snip>
The court declaration from the ex-wife outlined three separate anti-Semitic remarks that Bannon allegedly made as she toured some of the most elite private schools in the Los Angeles area for their daughters.
At one, Westland School, Bannon's ex-wife said he "asked the director why there were so many Chanukah books in the library."
Then after the couple toured Willows Community School, she said he "asked me if it bothered me that the school used to be in a Temple. I said no and asked why he asked . . . he did not respond."
Regarding another academy, The Archer School for Girls, the ex-wife claimed Bannon "went on to say the biggest problem he had with Archer is the number of Jews that attend. He said that he doesn't like Jews and that he doesn't like the way they raise their kids to be 'whiney brats' and that he didn't want the girls going to school with Jews."
Ultimately they decided to send their daughters to Archer but only after a prickly email exchange between the couple, which was also included in the documents.

It's OK. It's just Jews. (extreme sarcasm, with a multitude of eye rolls)

Personally, I want an investigative reporter on his ass and see if he has any ties to anti-Semitic, white "nationalists" groups.

It is fascinating to start pulling threads on sites like that one. I have gone down the rabbit hole on a few "news source" sites, and when you get to the rocky bottom, it is usually quite revealing (Salem News is one of those sites).

How does Bannon's view of Jews mesh with the fact that Trumps son-in-law is Jewish and his daughter converted?

I'd be pissed if I were Ivanka and Jared Kushner that their dad is appointing this guy to anything.
(I'm pissed and I'm not related to him or jewish.)
