Torres Joins House Democrats in Calling on Trump to Rescind Bannon Appointment
Statement
Issues: Executive Branch
Today, Rep. Norma J. Torres (D-Pomona) joined 168 members of the U.S. House of Representatives, led by Rep. David N. Cicilline (D-RI), in sending a letter asking President-elect Donald Trump to rescind "alt-right' leader Steve Bannon's appointment as White House Chief Strategist.
"President-elect Trump has promised to work to unify this nation and heal the divisions from the election, but the person he has appointed as one of his closest advisors raises serious concerns," said Torres. "Bigotry, anti-Semitism, and xenophobia have no place in our society, let alone the White House, and I hope the President-elect will consider the disturbing message the appointment of Steve Bannon sends to the American people and the world."
