On Al Sharptons MSNBC show today, Rep. Barbara Lee of California, a member of the congressional Black and Progressive caucuses, called for the removal of Steve Bannon from his position on the National Security Council, and more generally from his White House on President Trumps staff.
Lee mentioned that the Black, Progressive, Hispanic and Asian Pacific caucuses had written a letter to President Trump asking for Bannons removal from the NSC. But Lee went further, twice stating that they were looking into a legal mechanism for the removal of Bannon.

I hear ya’. It appears no one in power is willing to stand with him. Only us voters. And we need to be ready to stand in the breech.
Don’t they see the irony?
They are members of the BLACK, Progressive, HISPANIC and ASIAN Pacific caucuses yet accuse Bannon of being the racist!
Where is the WHITE congressional caucus? That’s right, there isn’t one because it would be considered racist.
...Steve Bannon?... Nancy Pelosi described him as a white supremacist
Nasty Pelosi also said Obamacare would be a rousing success. But, we had to pass it to see what’s in it.
Nasty is described as a fringe lunatic liberal idiot.
We are in the midst of a ‘soft civil war’. Most patriots have become too emasculated to commence all-out physical violence, but that day is coming. We all agree that if our Forefathers were president during 0dungsh*t’s presidency, the all-out physical civil war would’ve started by now. Even with Trump’s election it’s still going to happen. Trump has brought the pimple of the left to a head and something will eventually cause the dam to burst.
Need to somehow find a “legal mechanism” to remove Barbara Lee.
I can dream, can’t I?
Black Communist organization (NAACP) looking for LEGAM means to remove someone from office????
This is a total non sequitur. A typical commie lie, their only interest is to use the West Coast Black Panthers from Oakland as the violent spear point in this effort.
I say we give them Burkeley - They already know how to import people to create violent riots.
Don’t stop there, Lee! Strip him of his US citizenship! Excommunicate him from the human race!
Chin up, soldier.
They were especially freaked out about Karl Rove, John Ashcroft, Dick Cheney and Donald Rumsfeld too. Leftists are the most intolerant and racist people around.
Excellent. If I didn't already have a great tagline, I'd adopt this.
Is their a legal way for her to avoid being a gasbag?
Give him time to get his cabinet filled and the SC Justice in and see what happens...When he is able to take off the gloves, things will change, I believe....
I know it’s crazy but part of me wishes trump would let in refugees and drug gangs and settle them exclusively in dems districts, Georgetown and hollywood with no movement outside that zone allowed. Let them stew in it. Build refugee housing in the Hollywood hills.
extra legal mechanism to remove Barbara Lee ?
I know Barbara Lee is not the sharpest knife in the drawer, but this one is stupid.
U.S. Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, praised former Cuban President Fidel Castro Saturday saying the world should mourn his death.

As the world reacted with mixed feelings Saturday to the death of Fidel Castro, a Bay Area member of Congress whos visited Cuba more than 20 time called him a global leader who should be mourned.
We need to stop and pause and mourn his loss, Rep. Barbara Lee, D-Oakland, said in a phone interview.
When she learned the news, Lee said, I was very sad for the Cuban people.
He led a revolution in Cuba that led social improvements for his people.
In her eight meetings with Castro over the years, Lee said, she found him to be a smart man. A historian. He wanted normal relations with the United States but not at the expense of the accomplishments of the revolution.
Lee is widely regarded as one of the most liberal members of the U.S. House. She was the only no vote on the invasion of Afghanistan after the 9/11 attacks.
She called Saturday for the U.S. to speed the full economic relations with the county by lifting travel restrictions and ending the trade embargo with Cuba in the wake of Castros death.
When President-elect Donald Trump on Saturday blurted out in a tweet Fidel Castro is dead! it showed Trumps unfitness for office, Lee said.
Its not presidential at all, she said. This not how you react as a world leader.
Trump followed with a harsh statement, calling the Cuban communist a brutal dictator whose legacy is one of firing squads, theft, unimaginable suffering, poverty and the denial of fundamental human rights.
Lee praised President Barack Obamas measured reaction to Castros death. The president called for a future in which the relationship between our two countries is defined not by our differences but by the many things that we share as neighbors and friends bonds of family, culture, commerce and common humanity.
Lee said the U.S. policy of isolating Cuba and the long trade embargo against the country damaged the countrys people.
The policy was a failed policy, she said. And the U.S. tried to assassinate (Castro) many, many times.
Under Castro, she said, Cuba still made progress even as the communist island nation suffered economically, especially after the Soviet Union collapsed.
Cubans, she said, made the best of the hardest times under Castro. When gasoline was rationed because of short supplies, they rode bikes and their rates of diabetes and high blood pressure went down.
