Trump pressed to fire Steve Bannon and other White House staffers after Charlottesville

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.”

Something like this coming from minority caucus groups would probably make Trump dig in and refuse to get rid of them.

Let that sink in for awhile.

My Dad put his life on the line fighting these scumbags in WW2 and this Russian installed 'president' invited them into his white house!
