Watson Coleman Calls for Trump to Rescind Bannon Appointment
John Cornyn, the second most powerful Republican in the Senate, hit back at the Democrat for “doing nothing to contribute to the healing of our country”.
The executive chairman of Breitbart News, Bannon once referred to the outlet as “the platform for the alt-right” – a movement of white nationalists who have rejoiced in Trump’s election victory.
“If Trump is serious about seeking unity, the first thing he should do is rescind his appointment of Steve Bannon”, Reid said.
President-elect Donald Trump and his deputy Mike Pence are true friends of Israel in the USA, the top Israeli diplomat in America has said. In the same article white nationalist leaders say they see Bannon, quote, “as an advocate for policies they favor”, close quote. In response to misogynistic online harassment, the site wrote that women are “screwing up the internet for men” and that the solution is “women should log off”.
120 members of U.S. Congress have signed a letter circulated by Rhode Island Representative David Cicilline, stating that Bannon’s appointment “undermines [Trump’s] ability to unite the country”. Right off the bat, the press release reads that Trump is appointing Trump for President CEO Stephen K. Bannon to serve as Chief Strategist and Senior Counselor to the President.
Trump, for his part, has not emerged from Trump Tower to comment on the uproar over Bannon.
Miller disputed the characterization of Bannon as anti-Semitic or a white supremacist, calling him a “fantastic example of really being inclusive”. There is every reason to be concerned that someone who willingly trades in hatred will be a key part of the next administration.
In a separate statement, Heck said the Bannon has strived to make white nationalism mainstream. If you want to tell Paul Ryan that Steve Bannon reminds you of that toad creature Bill Paxton got turned into in Weird Science, you can do that too.
