Former independent presidential candidate Evan McMullin, who received 21 percent of the state of Utah’s vote, is criticizing Donald Trump for choosing Steve Bannon as his chief strategist.

Bannon and his alt-right website Breitbart News have made statements critical of Mormons. The Salt Lake Tribune says McMullin, who is Mormon, called on Republicans to oppose Bannon, saying, “Bannon and Breitbart have made a business of attacking people based on their race and religion.”
