Four Minority House Caucus Groups Ask Trump To Fire Bannon, Miller and Gorka

Source: TPM





By Associated Press Published August 15, 2017 6:52 am


WASHINGTON (AP) — The Latest on President Trump and the Charlottesville, Virginia violence (all times local):




The leaders of four minority House caucus groups have written a letter to President Donald Trump calling for the removal of White House staff aides Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller and Sebastian Gorka.

The heads of the black, Hispanic, Asian and progressive caucuses are calling in the letter for the firings of the Trump administration officials in the wake of a violent, racist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia. The letter asserts their continuing presence in the White House is emboldening a resurgent white supremacist movement in America.

“Americans deserve to know that white nationalists, white supremacists, and neo-Nazis are not in a position to influence U.S. policy,” says the letter dated Monday. “In this time of tumult in our country, Americans deserve a leader that will bring us all together and denounce those who seek to tear us apart.”

Unless he believes he can bully someone to do his bidding he's obviously a cowardly POS.

Trump will keep them on just to annoy the minority party.

Maybe if Republicans start to call for their ouster he might. Then again, he might just keep them on to annoy them.

or having rallies since it the same has legitimizing skin heads and Nazis by calling them "alt right" or white nationalists. They want to kill all those different than themselves having even less class than ISIS who at least build propaganda schools and hospitals. (snark)
Hate is hate and terrorism is terrorism whether it's skin heads, (excuse me, alt right), or ISIS and must not be normalized by saying the violence is coming from "many sides" when only one side is promoting it and carrying firearms. This PINO is trash and is making the country more divided and violent because he is. I also demand he get rid of white nationalists in our government as they do not stand for the constitution and are detrimental to our democracy just like this PINO
