If you’re looking for human decency and simple repugnance at the white supremacist that Trump has appointed to his staff as Chief Strategist, don’t bother checking Republicans in Congress.

Former House Speaker and Trump advisor Newt Gingrich praised Bannon as a “great strategist” and said the mainstream media was trying to undermine the President-elect’s success.

“They are the mortal opponents of what Trump is trying to achieve,” Gingrich said of the media during an interview on Fox News. “They now want to come back and say that anything that anybody ever published in Breitbart is Steve Bannon. That’s baloney.”

RNC member Randy Evans took a similar line on CNN, saying he “absolutely” trusted Bannon and praising him for having “a connection with what American—average Americans think.”

Presented with a handful of Breitbart headlines, including one about birth control making women “unattractive and crazy,” Evans said that asking Bannon to answer for the stories published on the site was an attack ripped “from the talking points of the Democratic National Committee.”

Rep. Mark Meadows (R-NC) told MSNBC’s Hallie Jackson that holding Bannon “truly accountable for all the headlines on Breitbart would be to hold you accountable for the headlines on NBC.”

If you’re the Executive Chairman of the company which publishes this crap, you own it, Congressman.
