The President has failed to condemn these attacks because he has surrounded himself with white nationalists. #FireBannon. https://t.co/CjJLFkva5m

There are many reasons to #FireBannon but the most important reason is because he is a white supremacist.

Actress Alyssa Milano participated in #FireBannon by alleging that someone positioned all the elf arms in Nazi salutes at the all-year Christmas store in New York City.
Just walked into a Christmas store in NY and someone arranged all the elf arms in nazi salutes. I’m sick to my stomach. ? #FireBannon

She said that she took her children outside and that her husband un-Nazied the elves in the Little Italy-located store.
Yes! Well I took the kids outside and my husband fixed them.
