Bannon: Trump Team Building ‘Entirely New Political Movement’

“Like (Andrew) Jackson’s populism, we’re going to build an entirely new political movement”, he said.

Cleaver said his office has received many calls from Missourians anxious about Bannon’s role in the Trump administration.

“We strongly urge you to rescind this appointment immediately and build a diverse White House staff who are committed to the core American values of inclusiveness, diversity and tolerance”, the letter delivered to the Trump Towers in NY said. Bannon was the executive chairman of Breitbart News. Some Jewish groups softened their stance on the issue Thursday, after the Anti-Defamation League said it is “not aware of any anti-Semitic statements made by Bannon”.

Donald Trump’s newly-minted chief strategist and senior counselor Stephen Bannon seems to get a kick out of the villainous caricature liberals and the media have constructed for him.

Now that they’re in the White House, he’s making another prediction. In New York, protesters have gathered outside Trump Tower in Manhattan, where the president-elect resides. And the appointment of Mr. Bannon threatens to further undermine the possibility of healing our nation’s divisions, months before the President-elect has even taken the oath of office.

The Charlestown Democrat, who many have mentioned as a possible challenger to Baker in 2018, labeled the governor’s “wait-and-see” stance as “concerning” given Bannon’s critical reputation as a bullhorn for white nationalists.

“We had an election”. Steve and Reince are highly qualified leaders who worked well together on our campaign and led us to a historic victory.

Also coming to Bannon’s defense was the Zionist Organization of America, which is partially funded by Republican megadonor Sheldon Adelson, a Trump supporter.

Concerning Bannon and other Trump positions being harshly scrutinized just a week after the election, Baker said there was “too much prejudging going on here”.

“Regardless of Bannon, if (Trump’s) inner circle is fighting against itself with major players leaving the process, combined with a struggle between those favoring loyalty versus those favoring competence, the Trump administration could be wasting precious time in getting its transition moving”, he said. “I am horrified that people connected to the incoming administration are using my family’s experience as a precedent for what President-elect Trump could do”.
