Lawmakers Call for Firing of Trump Aides over White Supremacist Views
---------------------------------------------------------------------

Meanwhile, leaders of four congressional caucuses are demanding the
White House fire senior aides Sebastian Gorka, Steve Bannon and Stephen
Miller over their white supremacist views. In a letter to President
Trump, the Congressional Asian Pacific American, Hispanic, Progressive
and Black Caucuses wrote, "We are deeply concerned that their continued
influence on U.S. policy emboldens and tacitly approves the ideological
extremism that leads White supremacists to spread violence and hatred."
