Steve Bannon
An interesting article on Steve Bannon, the alt-right bad boy that ran Breitbart and is now Trump's right-hand man in the Oval Office. Apparently he was a real heavy-duty overachiever in his youth, wowing everyone with his intellect and wit. It is suggested that he did not then show any of this right-wing fire back then. Oh, he was a conservative, respected wealth and business, but there was no anti-Semitism or racism. There is perhaps some difference of opinion about his possibly being a bit overbearing with women. This excerpt speaks of his old classmates' reactions at a recent class reunion.

Several of his fellow students are shocked at the comments they now see attributed to Bannon, and those that come out on Breitbart, the conservative website that he runs. A May 2016 article called Bill Kristol, a longtime Republican and Weekly Standard editor, a “renegade Jew.” In July, an article said that if women did not want to be harassed online, they should log off.
Women, the article said, are “screwing up the Internet for men by invading every space we have online and ruining it with attention-seeking and a needy, demanding, touchy-feely form of modern feminism.”
“We call ourselves ‘the Fight Club.’ You don’t come to us for warm and fuzzy,” Bannon told The Washington Post in January. “We think of ourselves as virulently antiestablishment, particularly ‘anti’ the permanent political class. We say Paul Ryan was grown in a petri dish at the Heritage Foundation.”
