Protesters Storm GSA Building Where Trump Transition Team is Located

Protesters flooded the lobby of the building and chanted slogans against newly anointed chief White House strategist Stephen Bannon.

WASHINGTON, DC — A huge crowd of protesters poured into the lobby of the General Services Administration, where the transition team of President-elect Donald Trump is located, chanting that controversial new White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon should be fired.

Protesters chanted "Fire Bannon" and "Jewish resistance" according to witnesses who posted to Twitter. They can be seen waving signs to that effect while crowding in the building's lobby.

Bannon, the head of Breitbart News and a key figure in Trump's campaign, has been accused of being a white nationalist and anti-semite. His appointment as the White House chief strategist has become almost more controversial than the election of Donald Trump himself.
