We hope that Stephen Bannon’s removal from the National Security Council will soon be followed by his ouster from the White House entirely. 

By his own admission, Bannon provided a platform, through Breitbart News, for a new breed of white supremacists. He’s also been responsible for the bizarre appointment of former Breitbart writer Sebastian Gorka, someone with ties to anti-Semitic, far-right groups in Hungary, to a position in the White House.

The sooner that Bannon and people like Gorka leave Washington, the better.
