WASHINGTON (AP) — 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.”

  1. Seems the list should also include the President, since this is a pipe dream anyway. But it’s nice to see some resistance.

  2. Silence from the R party… not surprised.

  3. In this time of tumult in our country, Americans deserve a leader

    But all we have is Trump.

    Trump is not a leader. He is a bully. He may look orange, but he’s actually yellow.

  4. “This blue satchel? Mr. President, this is for important, sensitive documents. If it’s not in the safe, but on your desk, always keep it locked. And secure the key someplace discreet where only you have access to it, ok?”

    Seriously, are there any House caucuses that Trump would be less likely to listen to? I know Bannon, Miller and Gorka are bad but, is there a point to this?
