Removing Steve Bannon and other alt-right factions from the White House is ridiculous. The problem is Trump. The President is a white nationalist and racist, and he believes that he is superior to others. Hate groups are Trump’s people. The only way to solve the problem is to remove Donald Trump from office.
Nevertheless, the Hill reports: “Pressure is mounting on President Trump to dump his controversial chief strategist Stephen Bannon after this weekend’s racial violence in Charlottesville, Va., provoked widespread anger at the nationalist wing of Trump’s White House.
“Democrats, and some Republican critics of Trump, are demanding he cut ties with Bannon, the former Breitbart News chairman who once described his site as the ‘platform for the alt-right.’
“Adviser Sebastian Gorka, who once wrote for the publication, has also come under criticism.
“’If he doesn’t want this to consume his presidency, he needs to purge anyone involved with the alt-right,’ said Rick Tyler, the former campaign spokesperson for Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas).’
“’Breitbart has become a pejorative … It has been a vehicle for the alt-right,” Tyler said. ‘You can’t allow the Oval Office to be a vehicle for the alt-right.’
“That sentiment was echoed countless times over the weekend by a broad spectrum of Washington insiders, including establishment Republicans and Democratic lawmakers.
“If the president is sincere about rejecting white supremacists, he should remove all doubt by firing Steve Bannon and the other alt-right white supremacist sympathizers in the White House,” House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said in a statement Monday.
The problem is Trump knew who he was hiring. Whoever he turns against now will not change Trump, his supporters, or the nature of Trump’s White House.
