Lujan Statement on President-Elect Trump's Appointment of Steve Bannon

Statement

Congressman Ben Ray Lujan of New Mexico's Third District issued the following statement in response to President-Elect Donald Trump's appointment of Steve Bannon, former leader of the radical Breitbart website, as his senior advisor and chief strategist:

"Despite his stated desire to bring the country together, President-elect Donald Trump's appointment of Stephen Bannon as Chief Strategist is completely unacceptable, divisive, and dangerous. Bannon's ties to White Nationalism and his leadership of Breitbart News - a website that has trafficked in anti-Semitism, xenophobia, misogyny, and racism - disqualifies him from any role in the White House. This, combined with House Republicans' failure to stand up to this appointment, is troubling. I remain committed to standing up for every American, no matter their faith, where they live, or who they are."
