Hoyer Statement on the Appointment of Steve Bannon to a Senior White House Role
WASHINGTON, DC – House Democratic Whip Steny H. Hoyer (MD) released the following statement today:
"Donald Trump's appointment of Steve Bannon to a senior position at the White House is deeply disturbing. His leadership of Breitbart, which provides a voice to radical white-supremacist groups, allegations about his comments on Jews, and charges of domestic abuse ought to be seen as disqualifying for a role at the White House.
"As we seek to move forward from this divisive election, it is incumbent upon the President-Elect to show all Americans that the vile bigotry and misogyny that in large part characterized his campaign will not be carried over into his administration. Democrats will continue to stand up for those who were attacked by Donald Trump during his campaign and feel marginalized by his election, and we will keep fighting against antisemitism, sexism and all forms of hatred in our midst."
