If you’re looking for a place to make you cringe, look no further than Steve Bannon’s Breitbart news site.
Steve Bannon currently serves as assistant to President Donald Trump and White House chief strategist. But before his move into the political sphere, he worked as the executive chair of Breitbart News. For those who don’t know, Breitbart is a far-right American news, opinion and commentary website founded in 2007.
In Bannon’s own words, Breitbart is “the platform for the alt-right.”
Under his leadership, the site has boasted what many consider incendiary headlines. Many of these headlines propagate sexism, homophobia, anti-Semitism and numerous other cringeworthy things. To make matters worse, Breitbart News has cheered on white nationalist groups as “eclectic [mixes] of renegade.” And it has accused former President Barack Obama of importing “more hating Muslims.”
