‘One Less White Supremacist in the White House’: Internet Explodes on News Steve Bannon Is Out
‘I Do Not See Steve Bannon’
The Internet is exploding now that President Trump’s Chief Strategist, Steve Bannon, is “out” of the White House. Reports vary as to whether or not Bannon was fired, with Bannon claiming he resigned two weeks ago (as Reince Priebus claimed) and the White House officially calling it a mutual agreement. Meanwhile, The New York Times and others reported Trump had decided to push Bannon out (aka, fire).
Bannon was supposed to be fired two weeks ago I’m told. But was given the option to resign. Make no mistake Bannon was forced out.

It’s important to note that President Trump did not fire Steve Bannon over his views, which include supporting white nationalism and white supremacism – despite calling them “clowns” in an interview this week.
Trump did not fire him for his views or his beliefs, but because he needed to take more control and try to save his presidency.
Nothing will change because the problem wasn’t Bannon – the problem is Trump.

Steve Bannon’s exit does not erase @realDonaldTrump’s long record of lifting up racist viewpoints & advancing repulsive policies. #BannonOut

Firing Bannon means Trump will also lose Bannon’s white board agenda, in both senses of the phrase

Gorka is still an actual Nazi. And Miller is a White Supremacist. Both are still at the White House.
