The Anti-Defamation League (ADL) today reacted to reports about the departure of senior White House advisor Steve Bannon.
Jonathan A. Greenblatt, ADL CEO, issued the following statement:
Hate has no place in our nation: not in our town squares and not in our White House. We are glad Steve Bannon will no longer advise the president. In November of 2016, when Bannon was first appointed, we called on the president to disassociate himself from someone who boasted about creating a platform on Breitbart for the alt right, a loose-knit group of white nationalists and unabashed anti-Semites. Just this week, Bannon unconscionably praised President Trump’s response to the events in Charlottesville.
Now is the time for moral leadership. As we have said before, staffers with ties to white nationalists do not belong on the payroll of the American people. Just as the president has promised to investigate leakers on his staff, he should apply the same energy to identify and dismiss others on his staff with ties to extremists.
ADL has no criedt they’re a bunch of leftist I don’t need them to speak for me!
Steve Bannon did the world and the USA a great service by helping Trump get elected. He is a brilliant man. I don’t believe he is bigoted or anti Semitic despite the allegations. They are coming from unreliable left wing sources.
Yes..the question is who actually speaks for us??meaning hamon am who try to see the truth for what it is? Without everything being a pr twisted move…
bannon is a good guy sorry to see him leave now the left will put trump in their pocket good bye America poof
We are glad the ADL never has, and never will, advise the president.
The ADL are democrat shills they supported the Obamanation when he gave billions of dollars to iran which they will use to fund terrorism
The ADL is against anyone who is proisrael if the democrats are against it
There has been no evidence that Steve Bannon is or ever was anti-semitic or racist. In fact, quite on the contrary.
The narrative has become more important than the facts and will continue at any cost.
