More former classmates of Mnuchin call on him to resign

More former classmates of Treasury Secretary Steve Mnuchin are calling on him to resign from his post in the Trump administration over the president's response to the violence in Charlottesville, Va.

Nearly 200 alumni of the private Riverdale Country School in New York signed a letter pushing him to resign from the Trump administration, calling Mnuchin’s own response to Trump’s comments on the violent white supremacist rally “deeply troubling.”

“By drawing a false equivalency between white supremacist neo-Nazis and the protesters who opposed them, by striving to demonize immigrants and people of color across America, the President—in words and in actions—is helping to tear down the values that have made our country strong,” the letter reads.

“We are horrified by his lack of moral leadership. And by yours.”
