Black Caucus Vows to ‘Root Out Racism’ in Federal Policy, White House


One year after President Trump gave his campaign rally cry to the Black community - “What do you have to lose?" - Congressional Black Caucus Chairman Cedric Richmond says African-Americans have already lost a lot in the 212 days of Trumps’ leadership.

“The people that work in the White House should not be white nationalists or white supremacists,” Richmond said on a conference call with reporters Monday. “[Steve] Bannon is gone but you still have [Stephen] Miller and [Sebastian] Gorka and that still sends a horrible message and anyone else in the White House who shares those views.”
