Earlier this month, Donald Trump promoted Stephen K. Bannon to campaign chief. Bannon, a Breitbart News executive, comes from an illustrious media background, much like Roger Ailes, who is serving as Trump advisor. The two have much in common. Mainly, a terrible track record with women.

On Thursday, The New York Times reported that Bannon was charged for domestic violence, battery, and attempting to dissuade a victim from reporting a crime in 1996. The police report obtained by The Times details an incident of domestic battery when Bannon allegedly dragged then wife Mary Louise Piccard over a car door during an argument, leaving Piccard with red marks on her neck and wrists. Piccard reportedly freed herself, ran for the phone, and called the police. Bannon, in pursuit, threw the phone and shattered it. According to the report, the marriage had been violent before this incident.

After the incident, the report says Bannon and his lawyer threatened Piccard, telling her to leave town or she would go to jail, where she wouldn't be able to support her and Bannon's twin daughters. Piccard did not show up to testify, and the charges were dismissed. The Times reached out to Bannon, who did not comment, and Bannon's lawyer, who denied threatening Piccard. Piccard could not be reached.

In more recent news, Bannon called Gretchen Carlson's sexual harassment lawsuit against fellow Trump-buddy Ailes a "total dud," and he continues to happily wage war against "political correctness" at Breitbart, despite his position in a presidential campaign.

Trump, locking up the women's vote, one shady campaign appointment at a time.
