Showing Original Post only (View all)Kamala Harris Leads Senators In Demanding 'Immediate Removal' Of Stephen Miller [View all]
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.) and a large group of Democratic senators have signed a letter that will be sent to the White House on Monday calling on President Donald Trump to fire senior adviser Stephen Miller in light of leaked emails showing the extent of his white nationalist beliefs.
We write to demand the immediate removal of Stephen Miller as your advisor, states the letter, a copy of which was provided to HuffPost by Harris office.
The leaked emails, the letter says, show that what is driving Mr. Miller is not national security, its white supremacysomething that has no place in our country, federal government, and especially not the White House.
All told, nearly 40 U.S. senators, all Democrats, have now called for Miller to either resign or be fired. Over 100 members of the House of Representatives, also all Democrats, wrote their own letter to the White House last month demanding Millers ouster. More than 50 prominent civil rights organizations, including the NAACP, wrote to the White House with the same demand.
Heres the full list of the senators who signed Mondays letter to the White House:
Sen. Kamala Harris (D-Calif.)
Sen. Dianne Feinstein (D-Calif)
Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.)
Sen. Patrick Leahy (D-Vt.)
Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.)
Sen. Tammy Duckworth (D-Ill.)
Sen. Sheldon Whitehouse (D-R.I.)
Sen. Jack Reed (D-R.I.)
Sen. Amy Klobuchar (D-Minn.)
Sen. Chris Coons (D-Del.)
Sen. Richard Blumenthal (D-Conn.)
Sen. Mazie K. Hirono (D-Hawaii)
Sen. Cory Booker (D-N.J.)
