Steve Bannon to French Far-Right Party: "Let Them Call You Racist"
------------------------------------------------------------------

President Trump's former chief strategist, Steve Bannon, told members of
a French far-right party that they should wear charges of racism and
xenophobia as a "badge of honor." Bannon was speaking in Lille at a
convention of the National Front-which is known for its anti-Semitic
rhetoric and anti-immigrant policies.

Stephen Bannon: "Let them call you racist. Let them call you xenophobes.
Let them call you nativist. Wear it as a badge of honor, because every
day we get stronger and they get weaker."
