Steve Bannon
U.S. Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., who has been accused of making false claims about her Indian heritage, has turned attack dog on Steve Bannon, President-elect Donald Trump’s newly appointed chief White House strategist and senior counselor, calling him a “white supremacist.”
It seems to be a talking point, as a number of left-leaning and even extreme-left organizations have adopted it, including the Southern Poverty Law Center, which was linked to an attack by a homosexual activist who sought to kill as many people as he could at the Family Research Council headquarters in Washington, D.C.
It’s all in response to Trump’s appointment over the weekend of Bannon, the CEO of the real-estate billionaire’s successful campaign, as his chief strategist.
Warren went ballistic.
She ranted that Trump was bringing “someone who is a white supremacist into the White House to be a senior strategist.”
“He has brought Steven Bannon as a senior strategist,” she continued. “This is a man who has white supremacist ties. That’s what he does. … This is a man who says by his very presence that this is a White House that will embrace bigotry.”
Warren said: “Bigotry is bad for business. Bigotry is not what your employees expect. Bigotry is not what your customers expect.”

The “white supremacist” or “white nationalist” blast has been repeated many times in just the past few days as Democrats try to put their own stamp on Trump’s White House staff.
It may be sparking a backlash, however, as Breitbart News, for which Bannon served executive chairman, is preparing a lawsuit against a “major media company” over claims that it is a white nationalist website.
The Hill reported Breitbart News has been under intense scrutiny since Trump named Bannon as a senior White House counselor and strategist, describing the website as “associated with the ‘alt-right’ movement that helped propel Trump’s candidacy.”
Breitbart News Network, describing itself as “a pro-America, conservative website,” said it is “preparing a multi-million dollar lawsuit against a major media company for its baseless and defamatory claim that Breitbart News is a ‘white nationalist website.’”

Such charges already had been leveled by many others.
The Business Insider said Bannon “is considered a nationalist and previously ran the alt-right website Breitbart, which is known to sometimes express anti-Semitic, misogynist, and Islamophobic views.”
The Los Angeles Times described Bannon as a key figure in the “alt-right,” a negative categorization for an anti-establishment stream of the conservative movement.
“The alt-right supports the mass deportation of undocumented immigrants and protectionist trade policies. It opposes feminism, diversity, gay rights, globalism, gun control and civil rights,” the newspaper said.
It quoted Jonathan Greenblatt of the Anti-Defamation League saying, “It is a sad day when a man who presided over the premier website of the alt-right … is slated to be a senior staff member in the people’s house.”
SPLC, which denounced Trump’s appointment and was assembling a petition to oppose it, previously was linked to a case in which a man was convicted of domestic terror for trying to kill Christians in Washington.
He confessed he got the details for the organization that he tried to attack, the Family Research Council, from SPLC’s online resources that list many Christian and family groups as “haters.”
SPLC even put Dr. Ben Carson, retired neurosurgeon and former GOP presidential candidate, in that category before being shamed into retreating.
The New York Times warned that Bannon’s appointment was “an ominous sign” of what “the Trump presidency will actually look like.”
The newspaper cited what it considered outlandish headlines at Breitbart, such as “Gabby Giffords: The Gun Control Movement’s Human Shield,” and said members of the KKK supported Trump.
The report didn’t mention that the Communist Party USA was an ardent backer of Democrat Hillary Clinton against Trump.
However, the left-leaning Wikipedia reined in the most outrageous claims, describing Bannon as “an American businessman and media executive. He is the executive chairman of Breitbart news, a politically conservative American news, opinion and commentary website.”
Bannon got a master’s from Georgetown, an MBA from Harvard, served in the Navy aboard destroyer USS Paul F. Foster. He made his fortune at Goldman Sachs and by investing in movies and television, including “Seinfeld.”
It was commentary writer Ann Coulter who several years ago decided on the name “Lies on Race Box” for Warren after it was revealed that she claimed Native American heritage to benefit herself at Harvard.
“Except, oops, she has no more evidence that she’s an Indian than that buffoon out of Colorado, Ward Churchill,” Coulter wrote at the time.
Elizabeth Warren
When a genealogist found a marriage license on which Warren’s great-great-uncle scribbled that his mother, Warren’s great-great-great grandmother, was a Cherokee, Coulter pointed out, “This is not part of the official marriage license.”
“But let’s say it’s true. That would make Warren a dotriacontaroon – 1/32nd Cherokee. That’s her claim to affirmative-action bonus points? You don’t know what it’s like to be 1/32nd Cherokee, to never have anyone to talk to, spending so many evenings home alone, wondering if there was some other 1/32nd Cherokee out there, perhaps looking at the same star I was,” she continued.
“Soon, however, the preponderance of the evidence suggested she wasn’t even 1/32nd Cherokee. The census records for 1860 list the allegedly Cherokee great-great-great-grandmother, O.C. Sarah Smith Crawford, as ‘white.’ Also, Warren’s family isn’t listed in the Cherokee registry. (Unlike Democrat voter rolls, to be on the Cherokee list, proof is required,)” she wrote. “On the other hand, we have what Crawford’s son scribbled on his marriage license – something, by the way, that none of his siblings claimed about their mother.”
