Tell Congress: Fight the Appointment of Stephen Bannon

“I’ve known and worked with Steve Bannon, and he has traditional conservative non-racist, non-prejudiced views about the world”, said Joel Pollak, a senior editor at large at Breitbart, who called The Associated Press in response to a request for comment from Bannon on this story. Piccard says Bannon “doesn’t like Jews” while they were in court to file for divorce.

“I think that’s one reason why our politics here in the US has gotten so intensely ugly about five or six years”.

Bannon’s appointment “deepens division and encourages unsafe extremists”.

President-elect Donald Trump’s surprising win against highly favored Democratic nominee Hillary Clinton was just a week ago, on November 8, and already Trump is creating more controversy with his White House staff appointments.

“It’s a awful mistake for Trump to choose a hate-monger and fear-monger like Steve Bannon as his chief strategist”, Rep. Cooper said Monday.

Meanwhile, Trump in a series of tweets said Ford Motor company has informed him that it would not be moving its plant to Mexico.

Since Election Day, Nevada Senator Harry Reid has made it very clear he has some concerns about a Donald Trump presidency – and on Tuesday, he took those concerns to the Senate floor to criticize the president-elect for appointing Steve Bannon as his chief adviser.

“We can not bring the country together by inviting into the White House the same bigotry and hate speech that divided us on the campaign trail”, Mr.

“People are getting really focused on the appointments, but ultimately when it comes to making policy in the White House, the buck stops with Trump”, he said. Bannon exemplifies hate – and particularly anti-Semitism, which should alarm the American Jewish community.

Of course, outrage over the appointment started immediately, Inquisitr reports.

Since Trump’s victory, demonstrators in several cities have decried the Republican’s campaign promises to restrict immigration and register Muslims, as well as allegations that the former reality-TV star sexually abused women.

We call upon President-elect Trump to make appointments that are aligned with and are true to the values that we hold dear. Bannon has bragged about Breitbart News serving as the platform for the alt-right, a loose alliance of anti-immigrant, anti-Semitic, white nationalist provocateurs. We applaud the longstanding tradition of a peaceful transition of presidential leadership and congratulate Donald J. Trump on becoming president-elect.
