Pelosi Statement on Firing of Steve Bannon

---

San Francisco – Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi released the following statement after it was announced that White House Chief Strategist Steve Bannon was fired from the Trump Administration:

“Steve Bannon’s firing is welcome news, but it doesn’t disguise where President Trump himself stands on white supremacists and the bigoted beliefs they advance.

“President Trump’s growing record of repulsive statements is matched by his repulsive policies.  Personnel changes are worthless so long as President Trump continues to advance policies that disgrace our cherished American values.

“The Trump Administration must not only purge itself of the remaining white supremacists on staff, but abandon the bigoted ideology that clearly governs its decisions.”
