Does Bannon believe what he’s been spewing? His film career contradicts everything we think about him
Steve Bannon has an indy film career that contradicts his current message.
Click here for reuse options!…his career in independent film — first in distribution, then production — casts doubt on how much he believes in any of it.
Ten years ago, Bannon oversaw the distribution of independent films released by Wellspring Media, a company that supported a wide range of international cinema as well as gay-themed and other “transgressive” titles. Movies acquired and released under his tenure include the experimental LGBT documentary “Tarnation” and “Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry,” a pro-Kerry documentary that opened during the 2004 election. According to one insider who dealt with Bannon at this time, he directly approved and often supported several of these films with great enthusiasm…
Did Bannon, whose alt-right allegiances have turned him into a leading proponent of nationalism, shelve his personal beliefs for the sake of perceived business opportunities? Did those beliefs — and a tolerance for the hate groups drawn to the alt-right movement — come later? Or does he, as so many have theorized about the president-elect, only believe in himself?

Who cares? When someone tells me they hate groups of people, I tend to believe them and I put them into the deplorable category they deserve. Why are we acting as if he is a rational being who should be given ANOTHER opportunity to prove who he is?
