The latest was Toronto’s Munk Debates, which on Wednesday announced Bannon would headline its November event just before the American midterm elections, debating former George W. Bush speechwriter and Trump critic David Frum, on whether the future of Western politics is populist or liberal.

Faced with instant criticism on social media that this would lend a prominent platform to a modern fascist, the Munk Debates declared that, on the contrary, the debate will be a “public service” that will help resolve challenges in an “increasingly polarized” society.
