MSNBC anchor Stephanie Ruhle pointedly questioned anti-gay congressman Steve King (IA) <\/a>today about past homophobic remarks made by newly-named White House chief strategist for President-elect Trump, Steve Bannon.<\/p>\n Bannon, a former editor of Alt Right (read: White Supremacist) website Breitbart, Bannon is an infamous anti-semite, racist, misogynist homophobe.<\/p>\n King is a staunch supporter of Bannnon’s and called him a “brilliant strategist” and “dedicated patriot.” He has also derided what he terms “false accusations” against him.<\/p>\n When asked about Bannon’s anti-gay<\/a> remarks, King pled ignorance.<\/p>\n As Talking Points memo notes,<\/a> Ruhle put it to King thusly: “Just a few minutes ago I heard Steve Bannon on tape say ‘liberal dykes. You okay with that?”<\/p>\n The tape being referred to comes from a 2011 interview <\/a>in which Bannon said conservative women<\/a> are vilified by progressive because they are not a “bunch of dykes that came from the Seven Sisters schools up in New England.”<\/p>\n King appeared flummoxed by the question, responding, “I hadn’t heard that tape and I don’t know what the context of it would be in. So no, I wouldn’t say I was either okay with it or not okay with it.”<\/p>\n King then went on imply that disgusting comments made in years prior don’t matter because America elected Trump despite his P—y-gate.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n You can listen to the Bannon interview in question, below.<\/p>\n The post MNSBC Anchor to Rep.
