Sen. Mike Lee: Pelosi's Bannon Dig 'Defamatory'

Republican Sen. Mike Lee lashed out Thursday at House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi for repeatedly calling President Donald Trump's chief strategist, Steve Bannon, a "white supremacist."

In an interview with CNN's Wolf Blitzer, the Utah senator said Pelosi should focus on policy, not personal attacks.

"I think this is nonsense," Lee said. "I think this is defamatory. I think she's acting with reckless disregard for the truth. I wish people would stop throwing out arguments like that."

At her weekly news conference, Pelosi said she was stunned by the appointment of the former Breitbart executive to the National Security Council — and called him a white supremacist.

"It's a stunning thing, that a white supremacist would be a permanent member of the National Security Council," the California Democrat said.

Does he have grounds for a lawsuit?
I'd do it if I were in his place.

I hope Bannon files a lawsuit and calls the wicked witch of the west into a courtroom to do some splaining

Show proof, Nancy, and put it on the table so we can discuss it.

Oh, you have nothing? Then STFU!

Calling him a "White Supremacist" certainly is slanderous. I am getting tired of people dropping that race card. Especially other white people. She should be attacked in the streets by 100 Radical Muslims.

Actually she should have called him a Leninist.

Don't you realize that Democrats "are" the party of communism. Has been since at least the fifties and sixties. Do your history people.
