Prodding action from nine financial services executives, the lawmakers continue, “It is a clear sign that bigotry – against women, against African-Americans, against Hispanics, against Jews and Muslims – will play a central role in the Trump Administration“.
“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.
Congressman Peter Welch called on Trump to remove Bannon.
Larsen said the appointment of Bannon sends a clear signal “of where the president-elect has always been and how he plans to run his presidency”.
“The conservatives are going to go insane”, Bannon said.
“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.
Mr Reid, who is retiring at the end of the year, said Mr Trump’s efforts to unite Americans could not be reconciled with his appointment of Mr Bannon.
This is the first official Israeli expression of support for Bannon, who had been criticized by several Jewish groups for turning Breitbart News, which he led before joining the Trump campaign, into a platform for anti-Semitic and racist commentators.
“I knew that she couldn’t close”, he said.
Bannon insisted during the interview in Trump Tower in Manhattan that he is not a racist, but a nationalist compelled to return America’s working class to prominence in a rapidly changing and modernizing world.
“Mr. Bannon guided Breitbart away from more mainstream conservative opinion to instead traffic in an ideology of racism, misogyny, xenophobia, homophobia, and anti-Semitism”, Franken said. It is also important to note that not a single Republican member of the House did. Although House Republicans were invited to sign on, none did so, according to a press release sent out Wednesday to reporters, from Congressman Jerrold Nadler’s office.
Will Donald Trump heed the motion to revise his appointment of Stephen Bannon?
“Like (19th century president Andrew) Jackson’s populism, we’re going to build an entirely new political movement”, he told The Hollywood Reporter.
