Stephen Bannon, whom Donald Trump tapped as his chief strategist in the White House, has come under fire for his self-admitted promotion of the alt-right, a haven of white nationalists, when he was head of far-right Breitbart News. His defenders have insisted Bannon is no racist or anti-Semite. But Mother Jones has uncovered another clue about Bannon's political personality: Bannon joined a conservative Facebook group that has featured racist and extreme material. This material includes posts urging a military coup against President Barack Obama, featuring an image of the president dressed as an SS officer, celebrating the Confederate flag, highlighting a photoshopped picture of Obama with watermelons, praising a police officer who called Obama a "F*cking ******," and calling for Obama to be "executed as a traitor."
This Facebook group is for an outfit called Vigilant Patriots, which claims its goals are defending and upholding the Constitution and preserving "our history and culture." As of Friday morning, it listed nearly 3,600 members, including Stephen Bannon, who apparently joined the group seven years ago.

But Mother Jones has uncovered another clue,,,,,,,
Isn't Trump's pick for NSA now a racist too?
I hear his shoe shine person was once a racist. Does that disqualify Trump?
Sounds like the shoe guy's qualified for a cabinet position to me.
I think he makes too much money there in Trump Towers.
He can do it for a dollar.
He really enjoys spit-shinning a Liberal's shoes. He misses when he spits and spit's on the Liberal's ankles.
