Jason Miller, communications director for Donald Trump's transition team, insisted to MSNBC host Kristen Welker that former Breitbart chairman Steve Bannon has lived a lived a life of inclusivity, making him a valuable adviser to the new president.

Since the election, there has been much talk about the idea of "faithless electors;" that is, those in the electoral college who defy the pledge to vote for Trump and instead vote for another Republican. They call themselves "Hamilton Electors."

John Oliver spent the entirety of his show last night wondering aloud how we got to this point where something like Trump became acceptable for the highest office in the land, saying "A Klan-backed, misogynist internet troll is going to be giving the next State of the Union address."
