Trump has cycled through a series of campaign leaders, each turning into a headache. The latest campaign savior turned liability is Breitbart News executive Stephen Bannon, who Trump named his campaign C.E.O. earlier this month. The campaign shake-up was at the time seen as a solution to Paul Manafort, Trump’s former campaign chairman, who was drawing unwanted attention over his ties to Russia.
But in the two weeks since Bannon took the helm, Trump’s campaign has been rocked by a string of allegations, including a domestic-abuse charge. And the bad press isn’t stopping.
The latest of Bannon’s transgressions is a comment he made in an interview, in which he calls progressive women “dykes.”
Bannon said that conservative women are an “existential threat to the progressive narrative” and as a result “there are some unintended consequences of the women’s liberation movement. That, in fact, the women that would lead this country would be pro-family, they would have husbands, they would love their children. They wouldn’t be a bunch of dykes that came from the Seven Sisters schools up in New England. That drives the left insane and that’s why they hate these women.”
The Trump campaign has begun to distance itself from the chief executive.
When asked about Bannon and his connections to the controversial “alt-right” movement in an interview on Fox News Sunday this past weekend, Conway remarked that Trump “chose me to manage his campaign.”
Chairman of the Republican National Committee Reince Priebus evinced a similar ambivalence toward Bannon in an interview with NBC’s Meet the Press. “I don’t know Steve Bannon, to tell you the truth, very well,” he said.
If Bannon’s troubles continue, he, like his predecessors Manafort and Corey Lewandowski, might not last long.
