"De Blasio, a Democrat, said he told Trump he was "very concerned" about Trump's "exclusionary polices toward Muslims," adding that "there are 900 Muslim members of the NYPD protecting all of us." He also decried Trump's "hurtful" rhetoric, especially the president-elect's decision to appoint Steve Bannon as a chief White House advisor, after Bannon's long track record publishing racist and sexist content as the head of Breitbart News.
"I made it very clear my deep concerns about Mr. Bannon," de Blasio said.
De Blasio has been an outspoken critic of Trump and his policies, encouraging protesters to continue demonstration outside Trump Tower, and stating that New York City would resist Trump's promised deportations. De Blasio has gone so far as to suggest destroying databases containing information on undocumented immigrants who obtained city identification cards. On Wednesday he did not elaborate on the suggestion of purging the databases."
