US lawmakers have called on President Donald Trump to dismiss some of his top aides in order not to embolden white supremacy in the country in the wake of the death of a counter protester by a young Nazi sympathizer in Charlottesville, Virginia.
The heads of the US Congress’ black, Hispanic, Asian and progressive caucuses wrote a letter to the president on Tuesday, urging him to sack top aides Steve Bannon, Stephen Miller and Sebastian Gorka.
The three are accused of supporting white supremacist groups in the United States.
“Americans deserve to know that white nationalists, white supremacists, and neo-Nazis are not in a position to influence US policy,” read the letter.
Bannon formerly worked as the chairman of Breitbart News, a website that promotes white nationalist views.
According to a New York Times report on Monday, the now- White House chief strategist is very close to being fired.
