Trump: Remove Bannon from National Security Council!
- by: Kailey L.
- recipient: Donald Trump
On Saturday, Trump signed a memorandum to restructure the National Security Council (NSC). Steve Bannon, Trump's chief strategist who has zero political experience and formerly ran the white nationalist website Breitbart, has been given a seat at the table. And we should all be terrified.
Steve Bannon, who openly affiliates with Neo-Nazis and identifies as "alt-right" himself, should not be anywhere near the NSC. He has been praised by the KKK. Recently, Bannon said, "And you can quote me on this... The media is the opposition party." Most of his comments on domestic and foreign policy sound more reminiscent of dystopian fiction than reality.
Both Republicans and Democrats are horrified by this move, as it is a job that typically stays far away from political partisanship. It also has historically required a lot of experience, of which Bannon has none. More broadly, people who boast about their sexist and racism publicly - including their hatred of Jews - should not be appointed to any government official positions.
The "alt-right" is comprised of mostly Neo-Nazis, white supremacists, sexists, and bigots. We will not stand to have a leader of this racist movement be on one of the most important councils in America. Sign now to demand that Bannon is removed from his leadership position in the National Security Council!
