Trump Campaign CEO Stephen Bannon’s History of ‘Pro-Family’ Values

Anti-Feminist, Anti-Semitic, Homophobic Comments Emerge From Trump Campaign Leader’s Past

Trump campaign CEO and former executive chairman of the alt-right headquarters known as Breitbart News Stephen Bannon has been under fire for many of his past comments since he took on his new role on the campaign.

Bannon’s 2011 comments on feminism have been among the most concerning remarks to come to light recently. During an interview on Political Vindication Radio, Bannon called liberal women, “a bunch of dykes that came from the Seven Sisters schools.”

The Seven Sisters schools are historic women’s colleges that were founded to rival then predominantly male Ivy League schools.

Just before those comments, Bannon praised female leaders, referencing Ann Coulter and Michele Bachman and saying, “the women that would lead this country would be pro-family, they would have husbands, they would love their children.”

“Pro-family” Bannon was accused of anti-semitic comments and domestic abuse by his wife. She failed to press charges and later said that Bannon had threatened her if she had gone to court. She filed for divorce shortly after the incident. As Politico notes, “According to the divorce settlement, Bannon was already paying spousal and child support from a previous marriage.” However, recent internet rumors accusing Bannon of saying “Nobody can blame you for beating your wife if it’s out of love” are false.

Bannon is credited with giving Sarah Palin, whom he also praised during the Political Vindication interview, a launching point for her vice-presidential run with his documentary, The Undefeated, which got a 0% rating on Rotten Tomatoes.

Bannon, who still has ties to his Breitbart News, serving as a daily radio host, also helped found the conservative Government Accountability Institute, which is responsible for material like Clinton Cash, a take-down of Hillary Clinton. Bannon funded the film based on the 2015 book by Peter Schweizer.
