Trump’s strategist is no healer

“President-elect Trump told us he wants to be a President for “all Americans” and he can not do that while empowering bigotry that targets and threatens many of them”, Brown’s statement said.

Within minutes, a Reid staffer issued a statement that in part read: “It only took five days for President-elect Trump to try to silence his critics with the threat of legal action”.

The Nevada Democrat listed off a number of hate crimes that have taken place since last Tuesday’s election and accused the president-elect of appointmenting a “champion of white supremacists” to a top White House position.

Bannon’s controversial appointment as Trump’s chief strategist and senior adviser in the White House sparked fury from anti-discrimination groups and members of Congress. “Donald Trump should reverse the decision to hire him and chart a different course for the good of the American people”.

Alt-right is one of the euphemisms for white nationalism, itself a euphemism for racial and ethnic exclusivity and patriarchy.

President-elect Donald Trump has started to select members for his upcoming cabinet.

Less than a week after his upset win over Democrat Hillary Clinton in Tuesday’s presidential election, Trump’s choice on Sunday of Priebus, the Republican National Committee chairman and friend of House of Representatives Speaker Paul Ryan, could help him fix his strained relations with members of the Republican Party establishment in Washington.

“We strongly believe that Mr. Bannon’s appointment will not allow the country to heal and come together as one”, it says.

“We used to call people like that ‘sore losers, ‘” Mr. Cornyn said. Rescind it. Don’t do it. Think about this. By placing a champion of white supremacists a step away from the Oval Office, what message does Trump send to the young girl who woke up Wednesday morning in Rhode Island, afraid to be a woman of color in America?

Mr. Reid’s comments is disparaging to the voters that elected Mr. Trump into office, the Texas Republican said.

Reid’s remarks Tuesday continued a verbal assault on Trump’s qualifications.

The Council of American Islamic Relations likewise decried Bannon’s appointment, calling him an “anti-Muslim conspiracy theorist and white nationalist “alt-right” extremist”. The site previous year called Bill Kristol, the conservative Trump critic, a “renegade Jew”.
