Leaked Emails Show Stephen Miller Is Exactly Who You Think He Is, Fascist Nazi White Racist

1
Senior White House adviser Stephen Miller in a series of leaked emails pushed white nationalism, bemoaned opposition to Confederate symbols following a mass shooting at a Black church in South Carolina and embraced immigration policies once lauded by Adolf Hitler.

On Tuesday, the Southern Poverty Law Center, a nonprofit civil rights advocacy group, published an investigative report from its Hatewatch arm, which reviewed more than 900 messages Miller sent to Breitbart editors from March 2015 to June 2016. More than 80% “relate to or appear on threads relating to the subjects of race or immigration,” Hatewatch said.

The emails were given to the organization by Katie McHugh, who was an editor at the right-wing website from April 2014 to June 2017, when she was fired after tweeting anti-Muslim attacks.

McHugh told Hatewatch that in 2015, she was introduced to Miller as someone who would influence her reporting.

In June of that year, after white nationalist Dylann Roof shot and killed nine Black worshippers in a Charleston, South Carolina, church, Miller was evidently upset by a nationwide effort by Amazon and other companies to remove Confederate flags from their stores.

Outraged, Miller emailed McHugh under the subject line, “defies modern comprehension,” citing the death toll of Southerners in the Civil War and suggesting she search for sales of communist flags.

“Have you thought about going to Amazon and finding the commie flags and then doing a story on that?” Miller asked. “I think you’ve hit on something potentially profound.”

In July 2015, Miller forwarded McHugh a link to Infowars, the fringe website run by conspiracy theorist Alex Jones, who has faced numerous lawsuits for falsely claiming the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a hoax. The link led to a story syndicated from right-wing website CNSNews, which regurgitated Rev. Franklin Graham’s statement that America is “under attack by Muslims at home and abroad” and “should stop all immigration of Muslims.”

In a September 2015 email, Miller recommended that Breitbart write about “The Camp of the Saints,” a racial-dystopian novel by French author Jean Raspail. The book, linked to the far-right movement, portrays immigrants as dark-skinned, feces-eating invaders of white society.

Steve Bannon, the former Breitbart executive chairman and former White House chief strategist, has repeatedly cited the book to describe the European refugee crisis.

The following month, Miller sent McHugh a link to VDARE, an anti-immigration website that peddles white-identity politics and platforms white nationalists. In their exchange, McHugh fretted that Hurricane Patricia, which was wreaking havoc in southwest Mexico, would drive “a mass migration to the U.S. border.” Responding, Miller said the chances were “100 percent,” warning that the storm’s survivors would be granted temporary protected status (TPS), allowing them to remain in the U.S. for a period of time while recovery took place at home. Miller then shared with McHugh a VDARE story on TPS, which was written by Steve Sailer, who has promoted so-called human biodiversity ― a debunked form of race science dismissed by critics as eugenics.

McHugh told Hatewatch that Miller’s emails “clearly illustrate his beliefs, which until now have not been made explicit and known to the American people.”

Throughout the trove of emails, Hatewatch said it “was unable to find any examples of Miller writing sympathetically or even in neutral tones about any person who is nonwhite or foreign-born.”

He also made repeated references to President Calvin Coolidge and his Immigration Act of 1924, which targeted Eastern and Southern European immigrants. It is described by the House’s own Office of the Historian as “a legislative expression of the xenophobia ... that swept America in the decade of the 1920s.”

Hitler, in his infamous “Mein Kampf” manifesto, approved of the law as a possible model for Nazi Germany.

Miller is known as the architect of President Donald Trump’s travel ban on several Muslim-majority countries, and his traumatizing policy of separating migrant families at the U.S.-Mexico border.

In a press release, Michael Edison Hayden, senior investigative reporter for Hatewatch, emphasized the power Miller wields in Trump’s administration.

“Americans should be terrified by the casual way that Stephen Miller, who has enormous influence in the White House, shares racist content and speaks the language of white nationalists in emails to people he apparently considered fellow travelers,” he said. “It’s clear that he believes people of color are a danger to our country and should not be allowed in.”

We ARE terrified, but what can "we" do about it? Aside from voting and working for change, "we" cannot fire Miller or Cuccinelli or any of the other white supremacists in power (or the ones sitting in Federal Courts as judges). I am happy to see the outrage, but I do wonder where that outrage was in the past decades of white supremacist leadership in states and courts.

In 2015, I remember hearing/noticing/reading that Trump's goal was to make people "take sides" on everything (aka divide Americans). Over the years, we've seen the NFL, NBA, Yeti Coolers, clothing companies, guns, religion, race, etc become wedge issues.

Now that impeachment is happening, the neo-nazis, the alt-Reich, the resistance, the politicians, and the bureaucrats are out in the open and are forced to take sides. If the Trump 2020 side wins, those politicians and bureaucrats will be investigated, harassed, and fired to create a new authoritarian government. SCOTUS will have more Trump appointees and, I fear, other judges will be forced out for Trump. If the non-GOP wins the next elections, we might have a chance to slow the slide toward authoritarianism.

I don't like our chances, but I will do what I can.

Now we have the Administration playing the anti-Semitism defense for Miller.
The White House claimed that Trump adviser Stephen Miller was the victim of “anti-Semitism” and smears after leaked emails showed that he promoted white nationalism and anti-immigrant rhetoric through the far-right news outlet Breitbart.
While Miller has yet to comment on the report, a White House official asserted that the Trump adviser was the real victim.

“This is clearly a form of anti-Semitism to levy these attacks against a Jewish staffer,” an unnamed White House official told Axios.

White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham told The Washington Post that she had not seen the report but claimed that the SPLC, a respect civil rights nonprofit, was an “utterly-discredited, long-debunked far-left smear organization,” even though the emails were handed to them by McHugh.

“They are beneath public discussion, even in The Washington Post,” Grisham said.

Miller’s allies have played the anti-Semitism card before. Donald Trump Jr., Rep. Lee Zeldin, R-N.Y., and others accused Rep. Ilhan Omar, D-Minn., of anti-Semitism when she called Miller a “white nationalist” on Twitter in April.

Omar fired back Tuesday at her critics.

“As I said earlier this year: Stephen Miller is a white nationalist. And now we have the emails to prove it,” she wrote. “This type of racism and hatred has no place in our government. Miller needs to step down. Now.”

Fellow Democrats echoed Omar’s call for Miller to resign.

“Stephen Miller, Trump’s architect of mass human rights abuses at the border (including child separation & detention camps w/ child fatalities) has been exposed as a bonafide white nationalist,” tweeted Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, D-N.Y. “He’s still at the White House shaping US immigration policy. Miller must resign. Now.”

Democratic presidential candidates also called out Miller on Twitter.

“Stephen Miller’s white nationalist views are a danger to the American people,” tweeted Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.

Former HUD Secretary Julian Castro went further, calling Miller a “neo-Nazi.”

“Donald Trump put a Neo-Nazi in charge of immigration policy,” Castro tweeted. “Both him, and Stephen Miller, are a shame to our nation.”

The emails also appeared to cross a line for some on the right.

“A damning email dump from former Breitbart editor Katie McHugh points to Miller simply being a racist who hates immigrants,” columnist Tiana Lowe wrote at the right-wing Washington Examiner. “Interns have been fired for less than this. We can’t say with certainty what hate is or isn’t in Miller’s heart, but we know that he was happy enough to use the work of hatemongers and kill the GOP’s last shot at immigration reform, apparently because it would help predominantly Mexican immigrants. It’s long past time for Trump to dump Miller.”

They do this all the time. When asked a tough question, Kellyanne claims the questioner is sexist (for no good reason). Anyone who disagrees is called disloyal or biased.

I guess it works for some low-information voters? It is a really dangerous, authoritarian tactic. But, we already know that about them and they know it, too.
