(Some of his best friends are...)
Vociferous critics of his appointment, a diverse group that includes the
conservative talk-show host Glenn Beck and Senator Bernie Sanders of
Vermont, who challenged Mrs. Clinton for the Democratic presidential
nomination, have variously called Mr. Bannon a racist, a sexist, an
anti-Semite and an Islamophobe. Interviews with two dozen people who
know him well, however, portray a man not easily labeled, capable of
surprising both friends and enemies, with unshakable self-confidence and
striking intensity. (Mr. Bannon turned down a request for an interview,
saying he was too busy with the presidential transition.)
Mr. Bannon’s backers note that several of Breitbart’s top editors and
managers are Jewish — as was Mr. Breitbart himself — and the site is
staunchly pro-Israel. They also point out that Mr. Bannon’s longtime
assistant, Wendy Colbert, is African-American; so are Sonnie Johnson, a
conservative writer he promoted on Breitbart, and a former Goldman
colleague who has been a close friend for three decades and considers
Mr. Bannon family, but who asked not to be named to avoid a flood of
media attention.
