Donald Trump’s newly appointed campaign chief executive Stephen Bannon has come under fire again, this time for his comments about women.

‘The progressive narrative Saturday morning was the progressive narrative and that is all about victimhood, ‘ Bannon said. “That drives the left insane and that’s why they hate these women”.
The universities that comprise the Seven Sisters schools include Smith, Radcliffe, Bryn Mawr, and Wellesley, institutions historically exclusive to women.
Days before BuzzFeed News published the 2011 radio recording, the outlet reported that Bannon’s ex-wife had accused him of making anti-Semitic comments, citing court filings from the estranged couple’s divorce proceedings.
Bannon once worked as a consultant at Biosphere 2, a research facility in Arizona which built closed ecological systems to explore the possibility of supporting life in space.
In a separate lawsuit, Bannon was also sued by a former employee suffering from Multiple Sclerosis who was sacked while she was on maternity leave. She filed for divorce shortly after the incident. Bannon once told his accuser that she “was a woman in a man’s job”.
The Augustine lawsuit is not the first to bring up details about wrongdoing or criminal conduct by Bannon, who has left a long trail of legal documents through the years. He’s been called a “master of the dark arts”, been associated with alt-right ideology, been accused of anti-Semitism and sexual harassment, and been charged with misdemeanor domestic violence, battery, and dissuading a witness. The charges were eventually dropped after his then-wife failed to appear in court to testify against him. Bannon allegedly told her that if he were put in prison, she “would have no money and no way to support the children”. She said there was nothing that jumped out at her to suggest fraud on Bannon’s part, but acknowledged that she did not know much about the investigation, other than that it was taking place.
