President Donald Trump’s chief strategist Steve Bannon has been fired, multiple White House officials told CNN on Friday.

Trump has insisted Bannon resign. “Ding dong the witch etc!” This shows that our collective outrage works, even on the most tone deaf ears.

It is a delicious irony that the white supremacist rally has led to the ouster of the most visible white supremacist from the White House.
