Republicans keep defending Steve Bannon by saying there's "no proof" of truth to his ex-wife's allegations that he made anti-semitic comments.

Ok, then – why don't we look at things we do have proof of? Like the fact that he's exec. chairman of Breitbart. As he said himself, "We're the platform for the alt-right". The alt-right is a euphemism for white nationalists / white supremacists.

Here's a lovely (by lovely, I mean disgusting) quote from Steven Bannon in 2010, where he argued that Sarah Palin, Michele Bachmann, and Ann Coulter pose an existential threat to the left. :

“These women cut to the heart of the progressive narrative,” he explained. “That's one of the unintended consequences of the women's liberation movement––that, in fact, the women that would lead this country would be feminine, they would be pro-family, they would have husbands, they would love their children. They wouldn't be a bunch of dykes that came from the 7 Sisters schools."
