Anti-Semitic Trump campaign CEO Stephen Bannon not a big fan of ‘whiny brat’ Jews, ex-wife says

[DemocratSinceBirth]

Donald Trump's campaign CEO Stephen Bannon was branded an anti-Semite by the same ex-wife who claimed he choked her, court documents reveal.

Mary Louise Piccard said in a 2007 court declaration that Bannon didn't want their twin daughters attending the Archer School for Girls in Los Angeles because many Jewish students were enrolled at the elite institution.

"The biggest problem he had with Archer is the number of Jews that attend," Piccard said in her statement signed on June 27, 2007.

"He said that he doesn't like the way they raise their kids to be 'whiny brats' and that he didn't want the girls going to school with Jews," Piccard wrote.

"I told him that there are children who are Jewish at (a competing school), and he asked me what the percentage was. I told him that I didn't know because it wasn't an issue for me as I am not raising the girls to be either anti-Semitic or prejudiced against anyone," she wrote.

1. I think it is a requirement that all Trump campaign people MUST be racist to get hired.

I wonder what Trumps son-in-law Jared Kushner has to say about this. Must be real awkward.

2. Will Bannon make it to Monday?

David Duke is available.

4. Also, is it just me, or does he look like a raging alcoholic?

What a hot mess.

5. Guess Bannon didn't get the ex-wife confidentiality agreement.

6. Won't make a whit of difference to most people.

Anti-Semitism isn't a "deal breaker" for many people, certainly not with many on the right. Anti-Semitism is an underlying cancer which more than a few like to ignore or pretend isn't "as serious" as other bigotries. Personally, I have found most people who claim not to be bigoted, but are anti-Semitic in some form or fashion, really are bigots in other areas but tend to hide it very well and deep.

8. Prediction: "This is just an angry ex-wife making up claims in a divorce proceeding."

"Look at all of Bannon's Jewish friends!"
