Trump Campaign CEO Called Progressive Women a “Bunch of Dykes”

HeadlineAug 31, 2016

Donald Trump’s campaign CEO Stephen Bannon is again under fire after a recording surfaced from a 2011 interview in which Bannon called progressive women “a bunch of dykes.”

Stephen Bannon: “In fact, the women that would lead this country would be feminine, they would be pro-family, they would have husbands, they would love their children. You know, they wouldn’t be a bunch of dykes that came from the Seven Sisters schools up in New England.”

In recent days, Stephen Bannon has also faced questions about domestic abuse, alleged anti-Semitic comments and apparent voter fraud.
