Trump Campaign CEO Steve Bannon Accused of Anti-Semitic Remarks by Ex-Wife

It may seem as though Donald Trump’s staffing strategy is one of “hire now, ask questions later” after an unflattering shadow has been cast over the past of his newly-appointed campaign CEO Stephen K. Bannon, whose ex-wife has brought about some revelations of a past domestic violence and anti-Semitism.

Bannon was charged with misdemeanor domestic violence, battery and dissuading a witness.

Speaking in Des Moines on Saturday, Trump said “nothing means more to me than working to make our party the home of the African-American vote once again”.

When she told him there were Jewish children at a different school, she said he asked the percentage.

Bannon said he didn’t like Jews and he didn’t like the way they raise their children to be “whiney brats”, Piccard said.

Bannon’s spokesperson has since denied these claims, but it’s not hard to see that his anti-Jew bias is everywhere in his media and political career.

Paul Manafort, Mr Trump’s campaign manager was forced to resign after investigators found he had been named as someone who was to receive millions of undisclosed cash payments from Victor Yanukovych, the pro-Russian leader of Ukraine.

“I thought about it all day and at the end, I get rushed, and I get anxious when I get rushed”, he said.

The biggest problem he had with Archer [school] is the number of Jews that attend. The graphic also included a background of $100 bills.

NBC News made multiple attempts to reach the ex-wife, but was unsuccessful.

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.

Those court records show Bannon was charged with three misdemeanors in Santa Monica, California, on February 22, 1996, when the twins were infants.

“He pulled her down, as if he was trying to pull [her] into the vehicle, over the door”, the report said, adding that Bannon also “grabbed at [her] neck” and that she slapped his face to free herself. According to Politico, which obtained the police report, he was accused of grabbing his wife by the wrist and neck and smashing the phone she was using to call police.

If the Bannon pick is indicative of Trump’s judgment, just imagine whom he will appoint to his cabinet.

With voting scheduled to take place in almost 11 weeks, Donald Trump’s team faces yet another distraction along the campaign trail, veering off the road in which the GOP would prefer to see Trump-the one where the spotlight is focused on his plans for office rather than his latest misstep.
