“Stephen Bannon is a white supremacist, an anti-semite and domestic abuser and Donald Trump just made him one of the most influential people inside the White House. And yet, these Republican Senators did nothing ” explained Shaunna Thomas, co-founder of UltraViolet Action.
“When our elected officials fail to speak out – or take action by blocking Trump’s cabinet appointments – they are endorsing this behavior, and that’s unacceptable. Whether you support Trump or don’t, we can all agree that someone with Bannon’s background does not belong in the White House. These Senators put party before country” added Thomas.
