Trump is boasting of his “opportunity zones”, claiming they will help millions of African-Americans, and while they have helped some communities they are more often helping vulture capitalists like Steven Mnuchin’s pal Michael Milken get richer.
And as predicted earlier, he’s doubling down on this as his new line of attack, even as we now know the Ukraine “transcript” WAS doctored and he says he is releasing another transcript tomorrow.
Stephen Miller’s Affinity for White Nationalism Revealed in Leaked Emails
Trump adviser Stephen Miller injected white nationalist agenda into Breitbart, investigation reveals
Emails to former Breitbart writer show Miller focused on inserting white nationalist talking points to shape 2016 election coverage
Stephen Miller’s private emails just got leaked. And they’re explosive.
In the run-up to the 2016 election, White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller promoted white nationalist literature, pushed racist immigration stories and obsessed over the loss of Confederate symbols after Dylann Roof’s murderous rampage, according to leaked emails reviewed by Hatewatch.
Emails from Miller to a former Breitbart writer, sent before and after he joined the Trump campaign, show Miller obsessively focused on injecting white nationalist-style talking points on race and crime, Confederate monuments, and Islam into the far-right website’s campaign coverage, the SPLC report says.

Miller, one of the few surviving initial appointees in the administration, has been credited with orchestrating Trump’s restrictionist immigration policies.
The SPLC story is based largely on emails provided by a former Breitbart writer, Katie McHugh. McHugh was fired by Breitbart over a series of anti-Muslim tweets and has since renounced the far right, telling the SPLC that the movement is “evil”.
About Katie McHugh:
Two of the ‘questions’ Miller sent McHugh articles:
“Should the cross be removed from immigrant communities, in light of the history of Spanish conquest?”
“When will the left be made to apologize for the blood on their hands supporting every commie regime since Stalin?”
The investigation shows how Miller pushed far-right sources onto Breitbart writers, including white nationalist websites VDare & Refugee Resettlement Watch; Camp of the Saints, a racist novel focused on a “replacement” of European whites by mass third-world immigration; & conspiracy site Infowars.
KellyAnne’s indignity knows no bounds…what a horror show. Wolf Blizter brings up very delicately what her husband had to say on MSNBC yesterday, and she goes off on Wolf, CNN…full tirade. Wolf mentions that Mary Matalin and James Carville were a duelling political opposite teams, and she goes into more of what ‘they’ think of CNN.
What a caustic, water-carrying sniper … for her audience of one. But that’s why he likes her…she gives it back 1000 fold.
