Now, reports indicate that Piccard also accused Bannon of making vile anti-semitic remarks, including saying he “doesn’t like Jews” and didn’t want his daughters attending school with their kids who are “whiney brats”.

The allegations – which came to light amid scrutiny over the appointment of Breitbart News head Bannon to Trump campaign CEO -were made in a sworn declaration by the ex-wife in a 2007 court filing.
The ex-wife of Steve Bannon claims he made anti-Semitic comments when the couple fought over which private school to send their daughters to almost a decade ago, NBC News reported.
A spokeswoman for Bannon rejected accusations of anti-Semitism. In the police report, the then-wife claimed that during an argument on New Year’s Day about finances, she spat at Bannon and he “reached up to her from the driver’s seat of his vehicle and grabbed her left wrist”.
“I told him that there are children who are Jewish and he asked me what the percentage was”.
Hours earlier, news broke that Bannon was charged in a 1996 for domestic violence involving his then-wife.
Those charges were dropped when Piccard did not appear in court, according to Politico.
Just a day before the latest revelations, Bannon found himself under the spotlight after it emerged that domestic violence charges were filed against him 20 years ago following an altercation with Piccard.
One of many documents related to the divorce case, the declaration sought tuition assistance and other child support for the couple’s daughters. After we saw Willows he asked me if it bothered me that the school used to be a Temple.
A police report outlined the encounter in which Bannon’s ex detailed that during an argument about finances, Bannon grabbed the mother of his then-infant twins by the wrist where she stood, presumably attempting to pull her through the window of the driver’s seat where he sat, adding that he grabbed at her neck until she hit him in the face to get free.
According to Packer, who served as deputy campaign manager for Republican nominee Mitt Romney in 2012, Stephen Bannon would have never made it past their hiring process with the system that the Romney campaign had in place. When she tried to call 911, she told police that Bannon grabbed the phone and threw it across the room.
