More Than 270000 Americans Ask Trump to Drop Stephen Bannon

On Tuesday, BuzzFeed News released a transcript of remarks Bannon delivered to the Christian conservative Human Dignity Institute in 2014.

“White nationalism, anti-Semitism, xenophobia and hate have no place in our society, and they certainly should not find safe harbor in the White House”, says the letter from 169 House Democrats, sent Wednesday to Trump’s transition offices in NY.

Welch was one of a number of Democrats in Congress who signed on to a letter to Trump that calls on him to withdraw Bannon’s appointment. “I don’t like them and they don’t like me and I’m glad”.

President-elect Trump should rescind the appointment of Bannon as chief strategist, a post held in the past by Karl Rove and John Podesta.

But Brown said he isn’t considering withholding some of Trump’s senator-confirmable Cabinet positions, such as secretary of State, because of Bannon’s appointment.

The letter protests Donald Trump’s appointment of Bannon as his chief strategist and calls on the president-elect to rescind it. Naming Bannon, the letter suggests to Trump, “directly undermines your ability to unify the country”. Breitbart, by Bannon’s own admission, has a reputation of being a “platform for the alt-right”, a movement that appears to have some white supremacist elements.

“Trump’s November 13 announcement of Bannon’s appointment said he’d be an equal partner with future White House Chief of Staff Reince Priebus in transforming the federal government, to make it more efficient, effective and productive”.

Senate Minority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nevada) gave an impassioned speech on the floor of the Senate on Tuesday (15 November) calling on Trump to remove Bannon. Join the fight today by demanding that your elected representatives do everything in their power to stop Bannon’s appointment. Bannon, who rarely gives interviews, also criticized the media’s coverage of Trump, along with Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign and strategy.

Our president is supposed to make people feel safe, but on wednesday, a seventh grade girl woke up being frightened to be a woman of color in america bus donald trump was president-elect.

We’ve never met Mr. Bannon, and we don’t presume to know his character, but maybe one lesson of 2016 is that deciding that Americans who disagree with you are bigots is a losing strategy.
