Lawmakers Demand Donald Trump Fire Top Aides, Saying They Encourage White Supremacists
“Americans deserve to know that white nationalists, white supremacists, and neo-Nazis are not in a position to influence U.S. policy.”
The heads of Congress’ black, Hispanic, Asian and progressive caucuses sent a letter to the White House on Monday demanding the dismissal of top aides Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller and Sebastian Gorka, saying their presence in the White House has emboldened white supremacists.
The letter came after a white supremacy rally in Charlottesville, Virginia, turned violent, leaving one person dead and others injured when a man drove a car into a crowd of counterprotesters Trump has faced criticism for his delay in condemning white supremacist groups following the violence, first blaming “many sides” before denouncing the hate groups on Monday.
The letter accuses the three advisers of encouraging white supremacist groups and says they should be removed because “Americans deserve to know that white nationalists, white supremacists, and neo-Nazis are not in a position to influence U.S. policy.”
The authors cite Bannon’s role as former chairman of Breitbart News, a site that promotes white nationalist views. The New York Times reported Monday that Bannon could be on the verge of being dismissed from the White House.
The lawmakers also express concern over links between Miller and Richard Spencer, a prominent white nationalist, and Gorka’s ties to a far-right Hungarian group aligned with the Nazi party.

Trump knows that Bannon and Breitbart are critical to keeping his base solidified; therefore, he knows if he would fire Bannon he would risk their wrath.
The only person that needs to be repealed and replaced in the Ass Clown himself, Donald Trump. I don't care what his advisers tell him or advise him on. To be POTUS you have to own your own BRAIN, along with your own sense of wrong and right.
I am not going to blame this on Steve Bannon or anyone else--Trump owns it along with his support BASE--aka the ALT right, Neo Nazi's & White Supremacists.
Trump called and they came a running. They crawled out from under their rocks for Trump. They were even making robo calls for him.
Hear a white nationalist’s robocall urging Iowa voters to back Trump
Often times a Trump rally was reminiscent of an angry, ignorant, bigoted all white mob that walked right out of the 1960's civil rights movement.
Look at the cowards in this video. Men on the verge of attacking a woman because she is a Muslim. Not a dam one of them will stand up in her defense. (South Carolina--Trump rally)
And no one is going to tell me this is Steve Bannon's fault. You're looking at the REAL Donald Trump and everyone saw it throughout the 2016 campaign.
As Michelle Obama stated. "The White House doesn't change who a person is, it reveals who they really are."
This is what Hillary Clinton meant when she said that half of Trump's base are deplorables. She's right, and the other half are just plain dam STUPID.
And yet, Trump is president and if you keep up your nonsense (please), he will easily be reelected.
2016 democrat slogan "we hate you". 2020 democrat slogan "we really hate you this time ".
Let them keep this insanity going, they're going to implode, they already know they are losers, that's why they have gone completely unhinged.
