>I agree that this writer has an indelicate style unlikely to earn many friends outside his own echo chamber. However, he asserts that the anti-Semite label directed at Bannon relies on a single sentence from an angry ex-wife in divorce court and reliance by CNN on a headline - that the above Jewish writer says *he* wrote, in an article that had nothing to do with Bannon and was not requested by Breitbart.

True or not (and I have not looked into this so I can't even form an opinion yet) - seeing how this guy has had this reputation for such a long time, don't you think it would of been better for Trump to just pick a less controversial person? Trump is trying to convince everyone that despite everything he has said and done the past 70 years of his life that he's not a racist and will be 'everyones' president and will unite the country. Seems like a lousy start to that.
