Meet Stephen Bannon: Donald Trump’s right-wing, right-hand man

A chief strategist who is clearly provable to be a misogynist is an outrage, writes Lucy Clarke Billings

US President-elect Donald Trump has tapped Stephen Bannon to be his chief strategist and right-hand man in the White House, prompting outrage from women’s rights groups.

Bannon is the executive chairman of Breitbart News, a politically conservative news, opinion and commentary website noted for its connection to the alt-right. He joined Trump’s election team as CEO late in the campaign, in August, quickly becoming a member of the his inner circle.
