We are just learning that a group of left-wing protesters have stormed the lobby of a building in Washington, D.C. where Trump’s White House transition team has been meeting.
According to RT, the protesters met both inside and outside the General Services Administration building, led by American Jewish activist group IfNotNow.
Here are multiple videos and photos of the protests:

There is no place for antisemitism, racism and white nationalism in the White House. This is the #JewishResistance #FireBannon pic.twitter.com/ROiS0nJLbc

According to the far-left agitators, the protesters are “calling for Trump’s White House Chief Strategist Stephen Bannon to be sacked. Bannon is the chief executive of Breitbart New and has been accused of racism and anti-Semitism by the Southern Poverty Law Center and the Anti-Defamation League. Members of the group are holding banners stating “Fire Bannon” and “Jewish Resistance” and are sharing images from the protest under the same hashtags.”

Liberals have viciously attacked Steve Bannon for his work with the conservative website Breitbart, and have slandered Bannan, calling him anti-Semitic and a white nationalist. It is disgraceful that these agitators would try and disrupt the peaceful transition between Obama and the incoming Trump administration.
We shouldn’t expect Trump or his team to allow these left-wing protesters to prevent them from forming a government and will continue their work as scheduled but such incidents are unfortunate.
