White Supremacist Stephen Miller On Defensive



Creepy white supremacist and dead-eyed neo-fascist Stephen Miller, the architect of Trump's purposely cruel immigration policies, is defending the racist emails he wrote prior to becoming Trump's advisor. Those emails promoted white supremacist views and were sent to the alt-right racist site Breitbart. Going on Trump TV, Miller said:“There’s nothing wrong in any of my emails, there’s nothing wrong in anything I said, unless being proud to be American and standing up for American citizens is a crime."

You can judge for yourself how "American" Miller's emails were (our emphasis):
Miller sent a story from the white nationalist website VDARE to (former Breitbart editor Katie) McHugh on Oct. 23, 2015, the emails show. White nationalist Peter Brimelow founded VDARE in 1999. The website traffics in the “white genocide” or “great replacement” myth, which suggests that nonwhite people are systematically and deliberately wiping white people off the planet. [snip]
Miller recommended in a Sept. 6, 2015, email that Breitbart write about “The Camp of the Saints,” a racist French novel by Jean Raspail. Notably, “The Camp of the Saints” is popular among white nationalists and neo-Nazis because of the degree to which it fictionalizes the “white genocide” or “great replacement” myth into a violent and sexualized story about refugees.

Miller suggested McHugh draw information from an American Renaissance article in early July 2015, she told Hatewatch. McHugh’s recollection is backed up by emails appearing to refer to that article, which focused on a favorite topic of Miller’s in the emails – interracial crime. [snip]
White nationalist Dylann Roof murdered nine black churchgoers in Charleston, South Carolina, in June 2015. Roof’s attack triggered a national conversation about racial hatred in the United States. In response, Amazon.com and other retailers made efforts to pull the Confederate flag from their websites and stores. Miller sought to create a counternarrative to this news through Breitbart, the emails show. He emailed McHugh with the subject line “defies modern comprehension” on June 23, 2015, following the news about the retailers, and highlighted a statistic about the deaths of Confederate soldiers with a link to history.com."
Twenty five Jewish Members of Congress have written to sociopath and bigot Donald "Fine People on Both Sides" Trump to insist that Miller be fired for his racist emails. Since he reflects his master's thoughts, don't hold your breath.

What we know about the depth and expanse of the Trump party's corruption is already terrifying and infuriating. What we continue to find is even moreso. And what we don't know must be unimaginable.

On the whole, the Republican party is a mass of inept, power-hungry, selfish goons. But taken individually, when we see the truly rotten individuals like Stephen Miller, Betsy DeVos, Mitch McConnell and the rest, it's a breathtaking horror show of corruption. And I'm sure we only have had a glimpse.
