Received this e-mail today from U.S. Senator Tammy Baldwin (D. WI):
President-elect Trump said he would be a president for “all Americans.”
Then, as one of his first actions, he completely disobeyed this pledge by appointing Steven Bannon to the role of chief strategist and senior counsel.
Much of the hateful rhetoric of the Trump campaign stemmed from Bannon, one of the most divisive figures of the campaign.
Before Bannon worked on Trump’s campaign he was head of Breitbart News. Under Bannon, Breitbart coalesced into a platform for galvanizing hate. The website published shockingly insulting articles, perpetuating racism, misogyny, white nationalism, anti-Semitism, and homophobia.
While Bannon was there, Breitbart ran headlines like: “Birth Control Makes Women Unattractive and Crazy,” and “Hoist It High and Proud: The Confederate Flag Proclaims a Glorious Heritage.”
The role Bannon was just given in the White House is enormously influential. And Bannon’s reputation as an intolerant ideologue proceeds him.
We need to let President-elect Trump know if he wants to be a President for all Americans, he needs to rescind his appointment immediately. We are watching. Sign here>>
Thank you,
Team Baldwin
