He was a book-wormy-y “history nerd,” an idiosyncratic football player, and a charismatic “ladies man,” say his college peers. Old friends, acquaintances, and roommates who spoke to The Daily Beast described Bannon in his Virginia Tech undergraduate days as a “Jerry Brown liberal” who was a devotee of rock artists and jam-bands such as the Grateful Dead and Bruce Springsteen. It’s a Steve Bannon who the Steve Bannon of his formative college years would likely see as barely recognizable. He’s President Donald Trump’s anti-immigration and incredibly powerful right-hand man in the White House, and the liberals’ go-to boogeyman-a Republican “ Leninist,” even. Bannon the world knows today is a hard-right nationalist and a former ringleader of far-right, race-baiting media.
