Trump’s Bannon Denounced by Sen. Sanders

State Senator James Sanders Jr. said: “President-elect Donald Trump has chosen a racist, sexist, anti-Semitic, misogynist – Steve Bannon – to be his chief White House strategist and senior counselor, an extremely high-ranking post. If  this is what Trump meant by bringing us together, we are in for a world of pain. It would have been hard for Trump to pick a worse person for this position, other than maybe someone with blood on his hands. Bannon is the former president of Breitbart News, which he has proudly described as the platform of the alt-right, a group that has been associated with white nationalism and white supremacism. Then there are the accusations of domestic violence by his former wife and charges that he sexually harassed female employees at a research facility he directed in the 1990s. The placement of Steve Bannon in such close proximity to presidential power does not bode well for our country. I urge the president-elect to reconsider his appointment and choose someone who is more representative of the views of the American people.”
