Extreme Right in White House: Two out of three is still bad
A leading figure of the extreme right, Stephen Bannon, left the White House Friday. Bannon was President Donald Trump’s chief strategist in the White House.
For the extreme right-wing in the media, Congress, and business, Bannon was an important White House ally. However, the White House still has two other extreme right figures: Steven Miller and Sebastian Gorka.
Miller and Gorka have come under fire for their views, statements, and competence. Of the three, Miller might be described as the wordsmith, Gorka as the self-described terrorism expert, and Bannon as the ideas man.

Trump and Bannon first met in 2010. The two clicked, both in terms of personality and ideology. On August 17, 2016, Trump engaged Bannon to help with his campaign. …show more content…
This was exactly what Trump had been preaching.
After Trump’s win, Bannon expounded on the anti-globalism agenda the Trump team would implement. For Bannon, the American working class had been “gutted” by globalism. He painted himself as an economic nationalist and denied any racial element to his nationalism.
However, after the election, Bannon’s hands were seen in anti-immigration measures and Trump policy on race. The travel ban targeted Muslims. Draconian immigration measures focused on brown people. And Bannon backed Trump for his tone-deaf remarks on Charlottesville.
