Bernie Sanders Blasts Donald Trump Over Steve Bannon Appointment

Sanders says the appointment is “totally unacceptable”.

Unfortunately, Mr. Trump’s election has already empowered white nationalists and their ilk, leading to an escalation of hate crimes committed against Muslim Americans, African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Jewish Americans in recent weeks.

The interview largely didn’t address Bannon’s previous controversies, though he denied being a “white nationalist”.

It’s just remarkable, just horrendous, absolutely horrendous to have somebody who’s a clear white supremacist leader in that position.

After he and other GOP governors met with Vice President-elect Mike Pence, Baker said he was optimistic that Trump’s team would be willing to listen to the states and thought he could find common policy ground with the new White House.

“And so far, Trump’s selection of “Eerie RNC Pubis” (Bee’s anagram for Reince Priebus) as chief of staff is the exact opposite of ‘draining the swamp, ‘” a prominent Trump campaign promise.

“Bannon’s appointment sends the wrong message to people who have engaged in those types of activities, indicating that they will not only be tolerated, but endorsed by your Administration”. Some of the letter’s recipients included American Bankers Association President and Chief Executive Rob Nichols and Independent Community Bankers of America President and Chief Executive Camden Fine.

“If Trump is serious about seeking unity the first thing he should do is rescind the appointment of Steve Bannon”.

He told the Hollywood Reporter: “It’s everything related to jobs”. We’re going to throw it up against the wall and see if it sticks, ‘ he continued. I’m the guy pushing a trillion dollar infrastructure plan. “Look, the people have spoken”. Boston Globe reports that 169 USA representatives have supported a letter addressed to president-elect Donald Trump.

Why does he think that leftists are so fixated on him?

He also said that Vice President-elect Michael Pence “was one of Israel’s greatest friends in the Congress, one of the most pro-Israel governors in the country”.

“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.
