If Trump wants more of Bannon, it's because he lied about wanting civic peace

Decent Americans should read with disgust the news that disgraced former White House aide Steve Bannon appears to be squirming back into President Trump’s good graces.

At a time when Trump’s continuing games of footsie with racially charged people and memes have been roiling national news for weeks, the last thing this country needs is for its president to re-welcome into his orbit one of the most enthusiastic supporters of the alt-right. Bannon also was guilty of a particularly egregious bit of anti-Mormon demagoguery that smeared the patriotism of former Republican presidential nominee Mitt Romney and his family.
