The overwhelming majority of House Democrats have signed a letter urging Donald Trump to rescind his appointment of Stephen Bannon to a senior White House post, calling the Breitbart boss a purveyor of anti-Semitism, misogyny and racism.

“Millions of Americans have expressed fear and concern about how they will be treated by the Trump Administration and your appointment of Mr. Bannon only exacerbates and validates their concerns,” 169 Democratic members wrote.

The letter, circulated by Rhode Island Rep. David Cicilline, includes more than 30 members of California’s delegation, as well as all nine members of the Massachusetts delegation. Democrats have pounced on the appointment of Bannon, a senior Trump campaign official, as chief adviser and senior strategist in the White House.

The letter notes the praise by white nationalists after Bannon’s appointment was announced Sunday. It ticks off a list of inflammatory Breitbart headlines, including ones that mocked a Republican Trump detractor as a “renegade Jew” and hailed the history of the Confederate flag.

5. Yes

Neo Nazi's in the White House. Problem? Hate crimes everywhere. It's been one freaking week. This is a nightmare in slow motion. I guess people have to die before they get concerned.
