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.

Conviction on all 7 counts - Lying to Congress, tampering with witness and obstruction of justice. And a direct link to T…well, well, well.

Anyone surprised…?!

WASHINGTON — Roger J. Stone Jr., a former aide and longtime friend of President Trump, was found guilty on Friday of obstructing a congressional investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election in what prosecutors said was an effort to protect Mr. Trump.

Mr. Stone, 67, was charged with lying to the House Intelligence Committee, trying to block the testimony of another potential witness and concealing reams of evidence from investigators. Prosecutors claimed he tried to thwart the committee’s work because the truth would have “looked terrible” for both the president and his campaign. In all, he faced seven felony charges and was found guilty on all counts.

The government built its case over the past week with testimony from a friend of Mr. Stone and two former Trump campaign officials, buttressed by hundreds of exhibits that exposed Mr. Stone’s disdain for congressional and criminal investigators. Confronted with his lies under oath by one associate, prosecutors said, Mr. Stone wrote back: “No one cares.” They asked the jurors to deliver a verdict proving him wrong.

The evidence showed that in the months leading up to the 2016 election, Mr. Stone strove to obtain emails that Russia had stolen from Democratic computers and funneled to WikiLeaks, which released them at strategic moments timed to damage Hillary Clinton, Mr. Trump’s Democratic opponent. Mr. Stone briefed the Trump campaign about whatever he had picked up about WikiLeaks’ plans “every chance he got,” Jonathan Kravis, a lead prosecutor, said.

The front lines are caving…

“I cannot and will not toe strict Trump party line,” Silverman tweeted

Craig Silverman, a former chief deputy district attorney in Denver and talk-show host on the conservative 710 KNUS radio station, said he was fired mid-show Saturday after criticizing President Donald Trump.

Silverman was in the middle of a segment about Roy Cohn, Trump’s former personal attorney, when he suddenly was interrupted by network news, he told The Denver Post.

Silverman’s producer threw his hands up in the air, indicating it wasn’t him.

Instead, program director Kelly Michaels came through the door.

You’re done,” Silverman recounted Michaels as saying.

The former prosecutor, who has hosted “The Craig Silverman Show” from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturdays for more than five years, responded to the sudden firing on Twitter.

I cannot and will not toe strict Trump party line. I call things as I see them,” he tweeted. “I see corruption and blatant dishonesty by President and his cronies. I also see bullying/smearing of American heroes w/courage to take oath and tell truth. Their bravery inspires me.”

Trump’s far bailouts are NOT helping poor to middle class farmers, but are instead helping to make rich farmers richer.

Trump’s $16 billion farm bailout will make rich farmers richer, report says

While the top 1 percent of recipients received on average more than $180,000 each, farmers in the bottom 80 percent on average received less than $5,000.

Despite weather disasters, trade wars, & a commodity market under pressure, American net farm income is forecast to reach a five-year high in 2019. What gives?

A closer look shows why farmers are still losing their farms.
