Bernie Sanders says Stephen Bannon should not have a position of authority
“It is incumbent on Trump to rescind Bannon’s appointment as White House chief strategist and select an individual prepared to represent the interests of all Americans”, she said. “That’s why we’re very eager to get up and running, to help him with his transition, to get up and running and then to make progress on the mandate that has just been given to us by the American people”, he said.
Nevertheless, Blumenthal expressed hope the incoming Trump administration could indeed find common ground with congressional Democrats.
According to CNN, and I quote – “White nationalist leaders are praising Trump’s decision to name Stephen Bannon as a leader”.
I am thrilled to have my very successful team continue with me in leading our country.
Democrats were outraged by the choice of Bannon, calling him a promoter of racism and misogyny who is backed by the white supremacist group the Ku Klux Klan.
Trump faced regular criticism during the campaign for supporting policies such as mass deportations and a ban of at least some Muslim immigrants that opponents called racist and xenophobic. “I think Steve Bannon is beyond great”.
President-elect Trump should rescind the appointment of Bannon as chief strategist, a post held in the past by Karl Rove and John Podesta. After people lose the election, they are pointing fingers trying to make him into a caricature.
“I’ve met him. I don’t think he’s a caricature of any of these terrible things the left is bringing out about him”, Republican Sen.
Priebus, the Republican National Committee chairman, added: “The guy I know is a guy sitting in an office all day yesterday, talking about hiring and in the last few months, this is a guy who has exhibited none of those qualities”.
WASHINGTON (AP) – Vermont U.S. Sen. Bob Corker whether he supports Bannon.
Alt-right is one of the euphemisms for white nationalism, itself a euphemism for racial and ethnic exclusivity and patriarchy. “Court filings stated that Bannon said – again another quote – said that he doesn’t like Jews and that he doesn’t like the way they raise their kids to be whiney brats, and that he didn’t want his girls to go to school with Jews”. “So, they’re looking for clicks”, said Kelly.
Gradually, some Democrats, including several from NY, began expressing hope that they could find at least some areas of agreement with the incoming Trump administration.
