Rep. Ileana Ros-Lehtinen (R-Fla.) encouraged President Trump to oust White House chief strategist Stephen Bannon on Friday, calling reports that Bannon could be fired "welcome news" in an interview on a local radio show.

“I think it would be welcome news for the nation,” Ros-Lehtinen said on the “Fernand Amandi Show” on 610-WIOD in Miami.

“I think his days are numbered in that administration. And I think profound changes will be coming,” Ros-Lehtinen, a Democratic target in the 2018 midterms, said before predicting “a shakeup in the White House in the coming months.”

“[Bannon's] views are not in line with our country,” she continued. “We are an inclusive country that welcomes different points of views. His ties to certain groups are very worrisome.”

Ros-Lehtinen's comments on the radio show come just days after the former Breitbart News chief lost his controversial spot on the National Security Council and amid reports that Trump is considering ousting him from the White House altogether.

On Wednesday, national security adviser H.R. McMaster made the decision to remove Bannon with Trump's approval.

Ros-Lehtinen has also expressed support for the decision to kick Bannon off the National Security Council.
