NCJW DENOUNCES APPOINTMENT OF ANTI-SEMITIC WHITE SUPREMACIST AS WHITE HOUSE CHIEF STRATEGISTClick here to read our statement urging the president-elect to reverse his decision to appoint Stephen Bannon as White House chief strategist. We hope you’ll share this far and wide.
“NCJW is utterly appalled by President-elect Donald Trump’s decision to appoint Stephen Bannon as chief strategist in his administration. As former chairman of the ‘alt-right’ web outlet Breitbart News, Bannon has made his white-supremacist, racist, anti-Semitic, and anti-Muslim views widely known. Upon joining the Trump campaign, Bannon roused a large portion of Trump’s base with a hateful mix of conspiracy theories, bigotry, misogyny, racism, and homophobia. “If President-elect Trump truly wants to bring together his supporters with the majority of the country that voted against him — by a margin that is nearing two million people, Bannon and his ilk must be barred from his administration. This appointment requires no Senate confirmation. It is up to the president-elect to show leadership for all Americans by reversing this dreadful decision immediately.” |
