http://www.newschannel6now.com/story/33755463/howard-dean-calls-trump-strategist-bannon-a-naziOTTAWA, Canada (CTV/CNN) - Former Democratic National Committee chair Howard Dean made a strong accusation against one of Donald Trump's White House appointees.
Dean slammed Trump's newly named chief strategist, Steve Bannon, during an interview on a Canadian news program.
Speaking about Trump, Dean said, "He's a complicated guy. He appoints a reasonable person, who's much more conservative than I am, but for somebody who can talk to as chief of staff and then his senior advisory is a Nazi."
Dean was referring to Bannon, the former Breitbart CEO, went on to accuse him of several discriminatory beliefs.
"He's anti-Semitic, he's anti-black and he's anti-women," Dean said. "It's a big word, and I don't usually use it unless somebody's really anti-Semitic, really misogynist and really anti-black."
Dean said Trump's appointment of Bannon makes him "very nervous" and said it calls into question the president-elect's judgement.

(90,773 posts)He hates what he calls "establishment republicans" because he finds them too liberal. Oh, he words it a bit differently, but everything he finds offensive about liberals, he magnifies as worse in republicans.
And it is not hyperbolic to call him a Nazi, as he has embraced and encouraged those who cherish all things Hitler.
He likes to say him gave them a voice, because, you know, racists have been stifled in America since forever. (snort)

(9,580 posts)he seems frozen out by the Keith Ellison supporters. Both would be very good. I think a lot of people are wanting "new blood."

(28,799 posts)but would donate to his cause. I have nothing against Ellison but Dean has a proven record of success so would rather see him in the position.
