3. He has been accused of expressing extremist views on voting rights

Some people who have crossed paths with Bannon say that they have heard him express extremist ideologies, including on voting matters. A film colleague of Bannon’s told The New York Times that he had once said that voting rights should be limited to those who own property. Said Julia Jones, a former colleague of Bannon, to the Times:

“I said, ‘That would exclude a lot of African-Americans,’” Ms. Jones recalled. “He said, ‘Maybe that’s not such a bad thing.’ I said, ‘But what about Wendy?’” referring to Mr. Bannon’s executive assistant. “He said, ‘She’s different. She’s family.'”

When der fuehrer says we is de master race
We heil heil right in der Fueher's face
Not to love der fuehrer is a great disgrace
So we heil heil right in der fuehrer's face

When Herr Bannon says we own the world and space
We heil heil right in Herr Bannon’s face
When Herr Giuliani says they'll never bomb dis place
We heil heil right in Herr Giuliani's face
Are we not the supermen Aryan pure supermen
Ja we are the supermen (super duper supermen)
Is this Nazi land so good
Would you leave it if you could
Ja this Nazi land is good
We would leave it if we could
We bring the world to order
Heil Trump's world to order
Everyone of foreign race
Will love der fuehrer's face
When we bring to the world dis order
(adapted from Spike Jones' "Der Fuehrer's Face" 1943)
