Senator Bernie Sanders on Wednesday called on U.S. President-elect Donald Trump to rescind the appointment of Steve Bannon as his strategist.
“The appointment by President-elect Trump of a racist individual like Steve Bannon to a position of authority is totally unacceptable. In a democratic society we can disagree all we want over issues, but racism and bigotry cannot be part of any public policy. The appointment of Mr. Bannon by Mr. Trump must be rescinded,” Sanders wrote on Facebook.
