Reince Priebus Begins Process To Normalize Steve Bannon
Reince Priebus, the newly appointed Trump chief of staff joined MSNBC's Morning Joe and tried to normalize Breitbart's CEO Steve Bannon from the alt-Right, anti-Semitic person he's been and said, "I've only seen a generous, hospitable, wise person to work with."
There is major concern over Bannon's appointment in the White House and with good cause.
Scarborough began the interview by asking, "There are some concerns about Steve Bannon because of the Breitbart connections. What would you say to those people that have those concerns right now?"
Priebus replied, "That's not the Steve Bannon that I know and I've spent a lot of time with him. And here's a guy who's a Harvard Business School, London School of Economics, 10-year Naval officer advising admirals. He was a force for good on the campaign at every level that I saw, all the time."
See, Reince only saw him acting like a swell guy, so he's not really a racist pig.
Walter Isaacson followed up and said, "...even if he did go to Harvard Business School of whatever, sends a signal that some of the stoked up hatred that happened in the fringe parts of the Internet are things that he's bringing into the White House? Am I wrong about that and how do you make -- how do you reassure people that's not the case?"
Once again the only case Priebus can make for Bannon is an observation.
