Kurt Bardella, who worked with Bannon at Breitbart for two years, says the former Breitbart News chairman regularly disparaged minorities, women, and immigrants during daily editorial calls at the publication.
If anyone sat there and listened to that call, youd think that you were attending a white supremacist rally, said Bardella, citing what he called Bannons nationalism and hatred for immigrants, people coming into this country to try to get a better life for themselves.
This is someone who has a very low moral compass, he said of Bannon, and the idea that this is the type of person that Donald Trump, as the Republican nominee, as president, would have closest to him is very disturbing.
Bardella joined this weeks episode of Powerhouse Politics podcast with ABC News Chief White House Correspondent Jonathan Karl and ABC News Deputy Political Director Shushannah Walshe to discuss the recent shakeup in the Trump campaign.
I think its incredibly concerning and dangerous actually to have someone have this kind of influence with the person who is running for president of the United States, who would be a top adviser if he were to win the election, he cautioned.

Mixed metaphor. Low moral meter reading or broken compass (as you say).

A compass can be broken, but it can't be low.

Many people have never held a compass, let alone used one.
