Twitter is demanding the nation #StopPresidentBannon.

As confusion and anger swirled over President Trump's executive order to restrict people from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the United States, the president signed another order giving chief strategist Steve Bannon a seat on the National Security Council.

The #StopPresidentBannon hashtag exploded Sunday as users deplored the ex-Breitbart News chief's increased influence in the White House. Bannon — who was considered a controversial choice for chief strategist because of Breitbart's tendency to share views many perceive as racist, sexist and anti-Semitic — can now regularly attend meetings that deal with policy issues affecting national security.
