Ladies and gentleman Donald Trump’s former chief strategist Steve Bannon actually said this:
“Let them call you racist… Wear it as a badge of honor. Because every day we get stronger, they get weaker.”
Steve Bannon made that declaration, along with several other controversial statements while speaking Saturday to the National Front, an alt-right group in France.

Bannon Unchained is the straight-up racist everyone always knew he was but studiously ignored—because not ignoring it would demand that we acknowledge that @realDonaldTrump is also a straight-up racist, as is his party, as are those who voted for him. https://t.co/4LSqMrvoDT

Trumpist Bannon told people to wear the racist label as a badge of "honor."
Former KKK grand wizard David Duke said he and Trump share the same message.
Trump said Nazis are "very fine people."
