Dear President聽Trump: Your pick for 鈥渃hief strategist,鈥� Stephen Bannon, has no business working in the White House.
Bannon presided over a news empire where he, according to former staffers, 鈥漚ggressively pushed stories against immigrants, and supported linking minorities to terrorism and crime.鈥�
"We're the platform for the alt-right," Bannon said in July, using a term that is really just a rebranding of traditional white nationalism.聽
Under Bannon, Breitbart published a call to 鈥渉oist [the Confederate flag] high and fly it with pride鈥� only two weeks after the Charleston massacre when the country was still reeling from the horrors of the murders.
Under Bannon, Breitbart published an extremist anti-Muslim tract where the author wrote that 鈥渞ape culture鈥� is 鈥渋ntegral鈥� to Islam.
Mr. Trump, during your victory speech, you pledged to be a president for 鈥渁ll Americans鈥� and to 鈥渂ind the wounds of division鈥� in our country.
If you mean what you say, you must rescind your appointment of Bannon.
