Steve Bannon on Politics as War
A protest group inside the building where Donald Trump’s transition team met voiced their dissent against the appointment of Stephen Bannon as the president-elect’s chief strategist. That said, America needs a thoughtful, caring vision to heal divisions in our country. “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”.
U.S. Rep. Denny Heck of Olympia is among the 169 House Democrats who signed a letter (released Wednesday) that called on Trump to reverse his action on Bannon.
Apparently, the blood of the covenant between these brothers is too thick to dilute.
“A man who lost the election by 2 million votes – or more – is now the president-elect”, Reid said at the beginning of his speech on the Senate floor.
“Instead of calling on the nation to end the violence, racism and bigotry that is sweeping communities across the country, he has selected a known anti-Semitic, white nationalist, racist – Steve Bannon – to serve at the highest level of the executive branch”.
Steve Bannon has no regrets.
Since Donald Trump’s election, yields on government bonds throughout the world, including the US, have climbed. “We urge you to condemn this appointment immediately and without reservation”, the letter reads.
“We have a responsibility to prevent Trump’s bullying and aggressive behavior from becoming normalized in the eyes of America”, said Reid, who is retiring at the end of the year.
He said Bannon was a hard worker and sober decision maker during Trump’s presidential campaign, telling NBC’s “Today” show the appointee hasn’t exhibited any of the racist, sexist or other qualities attributed to him and his website.
Bannon, chief strategist to Trump and leader of the Alt-right movement, is being roundly condemned by multiple organizations, activists and elected officials.
“This is a person who does not belong inside the White House”. Shortly afterward, Trump unsuccessfully lobbied for Martinez’s support. It is also important to note that not a single Republican member of the House did.
Bannon is not the only controversial appointment to the Trump administration.
“I think what’s important to note is this was the campaign, we need to look forward and see what is going to happen”, Martinez told CBS News.
