Rep. Peter King (R-NY) on Thursday called on President Donald Trump to fire chief White House strategist Steve Bannon for his remarks on race and foreign policy.
“I think it’s important for the President to fire Steve Bannon. He should go,” King said in an interview with ABC7.
King cited remarks Bannon made on the record to American Prospect editor Robert Kuttner dismissing “ethno-nationalism” as a “fringe element” and saying Republicans “can crush the Democrats” if “the left is focused on race and identity.”
“That to me is exploiting the racial issue. That can’t be allowed,” King said. “Also the fact that he is undercutting the President, the secretary of defense, the secretary of state and the head of the National Security Council on North Korea. To me, his time in the White House should be over.”
Trump: I pay no attention to 70+ years old white, fat grandpas. They can never get anything done.I am sure he is divorced thrice and a terrorist supporter.
Is this the best that King can come up with? How about a call to fire our alt-“president” Trump? That would go much further toward solving our biggest problems.
One white racist telling another white racist to fire a white racist.
So now dismissing “ethno-nationalism” as a “fringe element” is the problem?
These guys really don’t have their talking points together, do they?
Peter King? Means nothing. When Steve King says it Trump might listen.
