More than 150 House members urge Trump to rescind Bannon appointment

  By Christina Prignano Globe staff  November 16, 2016

More than 150 members of the House of Representatives have signed a 
letter urging President-elect Donald Trump to rescind his appointment of 
Stephen Bannon to a key White House post, a Rhode Island congressman 
announced Wednesday.

The 169 US representatives — all Democrats — included the entire 
delegations from both Rhode Island and Massachusetts.

Representative David Cicilline, who led the effort, said in a statement 
Wednesday that the appointment of Bannon “sends a disturbing message 
about what kind of president Donald Trump wants to be.”
