Tell Trump to fire Seb Gorka, Stephen Miller, and every white supremacist in his administration. Pat -- As I've reflected on what happened in Charlottesville, I've been struck by the symbols that have been embraced by these white supremacists -- the flags of the Confederacy and of Nazi Germany -- and what it looks like to the men and women who serve our country today. When we teach the history of the Civil War in my home state, we talk about the 1st Minnesota Volunteer Infantry. Eighty percent of the regiment gave their lives at Gettysburg -- where on the other side of the battle line stood Robert E. Lee and that Confederate flag. During World War II, my grandfather trained black soldiers to fix airplanes and my father joined the Army at the age of 15. The enemy they fought against had that same swastika on their uniforms. I cannot imagine what it must mean for the brave members of our military who wear our flag to see their Commander-in-Chief embrace those who would rally their hatred behind the symbols of America's enemies. They deserve to have a leader who is guided by the principles of our Constitution and a moral compass that is in tune with our American values. That will never happen as long as Donald Trump continues to surround himself with bigots, white nationalists, and enablers of white supremacy. They work in the White House, and they sit with Trump in the Oval Office. Steve Bannon was just the beginning -- they all must go. Join us as we call on Trump to rid himself of the white supremacists in his midst: Thanks, Keith Keith Ellison Deputy Chair Democratic National Committee |
