WaPo’s Capehart: Bannon Lifted Off the Rock of Hatred and White Supremacy and Made Trump President

They ‘made it possible for the president to do that, exploit it’

EXCERPT:

CAPEHART: "Remember, I think it was Kristen Welker and Jonathan Swan both reported that Steve Bannon resigned a couple of weeks ago but made the effective day I believe they said August 14th because that was the one year anniversary of his taking over then-candidate Donald Trump's presidential campaign. When the presidential campaign was in chaos, was a swirl — was a disaster. And Steve Bannon and Kellyanne Conway took over the campaign and pulled off the impossible, made Donald Trump president of the United States. And so, you had to look at what did they do that made this possible? And one of the things they did was lift the rock off of hatred and white supremacy and racism and you know, made it possible for the president to do that."
