Anti-Trump Protesters Shift Anger To President-Elect’s Chief Strategist
Steve Bannon’s strategy is to use it to foster an anti-Muslim presidency.
Representative Scott Peters (D-San Diego) issued a statement Wednesday, denouncing President-elect Donald Trump’s appointment of Stephen Bannon, a member of Trump’s presidential campaign who has ties to white nationalists and a history of anti-Semitic behavior. The man who lost the popular vote by two million votes is now the president-elect.
Bannon led Breitbart News into becoming what one former editor called “a cesspool for white supremacist meme makers.” .
Bannon and Priebus would work “as equal partners to transform the federal government”, Trump said in a statement.
Trump was happy to oblige that conversation, boasting about the sizes of his crowds. Washington objected that a white man could not call the Trump campaign racist when she, a black woman, supported Trump. Asking about foreign affairs, for instance, Bannon praised Trump’s capacity for dealmaking. Bannon said, the Huffington Post reported. “That’s your calling card”.
Morton Klein, the ZOA president, told Jewish Insider that Bannon may speak at the event. “I thrive on complicated”. Given that Washington, D.C. was once slaveholding territory, will Bannon advise Trump to “festoon” the White House with the Confederate flag?
Sanders discussed his new book, “The Revolution”, and challenged Trump’s views on climate change.
Trump named Stephen Bannon as his chief strategist earlier this week.
Last November, for instance, Trump said he was concerned that foreign students attending Ivy League schools have to return home because of USA immigration laws. We would wonder if Steve Bannon is now editing St. Louis’ daily newspaper, until we pinch ourselves and wake back up to a reality that’s so much worse: He is advising the president of the United States.
“We have the sense of Trump that we’ve seen on the campaign trail, and then we have a slightly more muted version of Trump that we have seen come out from time to time”, said Molly Reynolds, a fellow in Governance Studies at the Brookings Institution. He paused. Bannon said, “Um”.
“I said no and asked why he asked … he did not respond”.
Breitbart.com devoted most of the space on the front-page of its website to defending Bannon from attacks coming in from around the country. “We’re a civic society”.
Reid listed a number of hate crimes that have allegedly taken place since the election and accused Bannon of being a “champion of white supremacy”. The site used a slur for transgender people in headlines and stories. “I’m personally offended that you think I would manage a campaign where that would be one of the going philosophies”.
“We are a nation in desperate need of some kind of healing”, Cleaver said in an interview. We’re the know-nothing vulgarians.
“Oh, that’s OK”, Trump said.
The next president will be an unprincipled bully with an extremely thin skin who, even after his election, continues to tweet in the voice of a petulant know-it-all who doesn’t think his brilliant ideas are taken seriously enough by the rest of the world.
“He’s the puppet, Steve Bannon is playing the strings”, Cuban added.
