The heads of four minority House caucuses are calling on President Trump to fire three White House staffers, according to a report Tuesday.
In a letter to the president, the leaders of the black, Hispanic, Asian and progressive caucuses are asking Trump to remove White House chief strategist Steve Bannon, senior policy adviser Stephen Miller, and deputy assistant to the president Sebastian Gorka after the violent white nationalist groups’ rally in Charlottesville, Va., over the weekend.
“Americans deserve to know that white nationalists, white supremacists, and neo-Nazis are not in a position to influence U.S. policy,” they wrote in the letter dated Monday, the Associated Press reported. “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.”
Calls to fire Bannon have risen after the protests in Charlottesville turned deadly. Critics of Trump’s chief strategist within the White House are “making their move,” according to a source close to the White House. A social media campaign, #FireBannon, also gained traction over the weekend after the violence in Charlottesville that killed one woman and injured 19 other people.
