Inae Oh — Reince Priebus Attempts to Normalize White Nationalist Stephen Bannon

In his first interviews since being named the incoming White House chief of staff, Reince Priebus took to the morning news shows on Monday to defend the appointment of Stephen Bannon, the executive chairman of alt-right media organization Breitbart News, as Trump's chief strategist and senior counsel.
"The guy I know is a guy sitting in an office all day yesterday talking about hiring, talking about people," Priebus said on the Today Show. "Here's a guy who is Harvard Business School, he was a ten-year naval officer, London School of Economics, I believe. He is a guy who is very, very smart, very temperate."
When asked about some of the race-baiting stories that have run on Breitbart, including one that stoked fears of Muslims and another that ran with an anti-Semitic attack on Bill Kristol, Priebus replied, "That wasn't his writing, that was some articles on Breitbart. That wasn't him."…
OK, that clears it up. The strategy is denial. He never said that stuff and if he did, he didn't mean it.

Politico — Trump names Priebus as chief of staff, Bannon as chief strategist

President-elect Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he has chosen Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus as his White House chief of staff, putting his trust in an establishment figure after railing against the political establishment from the start of his candidacy.
Steve Bannon, a Breitbart News executive and leader of the so-called “alt-right” movement, will serve as Trump’s chief strategist and senior counselor.
Establishment and Alt-Right. Something for everyone.
