Howard Dean calls Trump strategist Bannon a 'Nazi'

 OTTAWA, Canada (CTV/CNN) - Former Democratic National Committee chair Howard Dean made a strong accusation against one of Donald Trump's White House appointees.



Dean slammed Trump's newly named chief strategist, Steve Bannon, during an interview on a Canadian news program.



Speaking about Trump, Dean said, "He's a complicated guy. He appoints a reasonable person, who's much more conservative than I am, but for somebody who can talk to as chief of staff and then his senior advisory is a Nazi."



Dean was referring to Bannon, the former Breitbart CEO, went on to accuse him of several discriminatory beliefs.



"He's anti-Semitic, he's anti-black and he's anti-women," Dean said. "It's a big word, and I don't usually use it unless somebody's really anti-Semitic, really misogynist and really anti-black."



Dean said Trump's appointment of Bannon makes him "very nervous" and said it calls into question the president-elect's judgement.
