Today on The BradCast, it seems the Republican Party’s Presidential nominee can’t keep alleged criminals from running his own campaign — but he wants the American people to trust his plan to keep them out of the country?! [Audio link to today’s show posted below.]
Donald Trump may want to carry out some of that “extreme vetting” he has planned for immigrant refugees hoping to come to the U.S., on his own campaign staff. Credible new reports today reveal that Trump’s newest campaign chief, Stephen Bannon — hired after two previous ones were fired — was charged with domestic violence in the 90s and allegedly threatened retribution against the victim, one of his former wives, for testifying against him.
Separately, it appears that Bannon, previously the chief executive for the far-rightwing Breitbart “News” site, also may have committed voter registration fraud and possibly tax evasion, by registering to vote in a state where he doesn’t appear to have ever lived. (Since finishing today’s show, the Guardian has now posted a second story to report that, since their first exclusive, Bannon has now moved his Florida voter registration to a different residence.)
If the new evidence reported today holds up, Bannon’s case, as I detail on today’s program, would be just the latest example of another very high profile Republican who appears to have committed the type of election-related fraud that Republicans disingenuously claim Dems are carrying out, and for which the GOP continues to enact voting restrictions that disproportionately block minority voters at the polls.
As discussed on today’s program, we have covered, at The BRAD BLOG, on The BradCast, and in many other publications, in great detail and documentation over the past decade or more, the many cases of actual, well-documented voter and voter registration fraud carried out by the likes of GOP superstars like Ann Coulter, Mitt Romney, the former Sec. of State of Indiana, and a host of many other high-profile Republicans. That long list includes many who have, themselves, long called for “anti-fraud” measures meant only to make it harder for certain perfectly legal voters (Democratic-leaning ones) to participate in U.S. elections.
And, as if Trump’s “extreme vetting” for his own campaign staff hasn’t yet failed spectacularly enough by now, we end today’s show with still one more brand new example! Yes, it’s an epic romp through recent historical GOP hypocrisy on today’s BradCast. Buckle up, and please enjoy responsibly!…
