Current Events > Stephen Miller emailed Breitbart editors to cover more white nationalist shit

(+) Yeah! (+)

https://www.splcenter.org/hatewatch/2019/11/12/stephen-millers-affinity-white-nationalism-revealed-leaked-emails

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 Roofs murderous rampage, according to leaked emails reviewed by Hatewatch.

The emails, which Miller sent to the conservative website Breitbart News in 2015 and 2016, showcase the extremist, anti-immigrant ideology that undergirds the policies he has helped create as an architect of Donald Trumps presidency. These policies include reportedly setting arrest quotas for undocumented immigrants, an executive order effectively banning immigration from five Muslim-majority countries and a policy of family separation at refugee resettlement facilities that the Department of Health and Human Services Office of Inspector General said is causing intense trauma in children.

In this, the first of what will be a series about those emails, Hatewatch exposes the racist source material that has influenced Millers visions of policy. That source material, as laid out in his emails to Breitbart, includes white nationalist websites, a white genocide-themed novel in which Indian men rape white women, xenophobic conspiracy theories and eugenics-era immigration laws that Adolf Hitler lauded in Mein Kampf.

Hatewatch reviewed more than 900 previously private emails Miller sent to Breitbart editors from March 4, 2015, to June 27, 2016. Miller does not converse along a wide range of topics in the emails. His focus is strikingly narrow more than 80 percent of the emails Hatewatch reviewed relate to or appear on threads relating to the subjects of race or immigration. Hatewatch made multiple attempts to reach the White House for a comment from Miller about the content of his emails but did not receive any reply.

Millers perspective on race and immigration across the emails is repetitious. When discussing crime, which he does scores of times, Miller focuses on offenses committed by nonwhites. On immigration, he touches solely on the perspective of severely limiting or ending nonwhite immigration to the United States. Hatewatch was unable to find any examples of Miller writing sympathetically or even in neutral tones about any person who is nonwhite or foreign-born.

Miller has gained a reputation for attempting to keep his communications secret: The Washington Post reported in August that Miller rarely puts anything in writing, eschewing email in favor of phone calls. The Daily Beast noted in July that Miller has recently cut off regular contact with most of his allies outside the Trump administration to limit leaks.

Miller used his government email address as an aide to then-Sen. Jeff Sessions in the emails Hatewatch reviewed. He sent the majority of the emails Hatewatch examined before he joined Trumps campaign in January 2016 and while he was still working for Sessions. Miller also used a personal Hotmail.com address in the emails and did so both before and after he started working for Trump. Hatewatch confirmed the authenticity of Millers Hotmail.com address through an email sent from his government address in which he lists it as his future point of contact.
...
Katie McHugh, who was an editor for Breitbart from April 2014 to June 2017, leaked the emails to Hatewatch in June to review, analyze and disseminate to the public. McHugh was 23 when she started at Breitbart and also became active in the anti-immigrant movement, frequently rubbing shoulders with white nationalists. McHugh was fired from Breitbart in 2017 after posting anti-Muslim tweets. She has since renounced the far right.

---

McHugh told Hatewatch that Breitbart editors introduced her to Miller in 2015 with an understanding he would influence the direction of her reporting. For that reason, and because Miller would have regarded her as a fellow traveler of the anti-immigrant movement, McHugh sometimes starts conversations with Miller in the emails, seeking his opinion on news stories. Other times, Miller directly suggests story ideas to McHugh, or tells her how to shape Breitbarts coverage. Periodically, Miller asks McHugh if he can speak to her by phone, taking conversations offline.

What Stephen Miller sent to me in those emails has become policy at the Trump administration, McHugh told Hatewatch.

Miller sent a story from the white nationalist website VDARE to 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.

McHugh started the email conversation by asking if Hurricane Patricia could drive refugees into the United States. The hurricane battered parts of Central America, Mexico and Texas, and the media heavily covered the storm. Miller replied to her by underscoring the possibility that Mexican survivors of the storm could be given temporary protected status (TPS), a George H.W. Bush-era policy that would enable them to live and work in the United States for a limited stay.
...
The VDARE story by Steve Sailer, an anti-immigration activist who traffics in discredited race science, focused on instances in which the United States offered refugees temporary protected status. The article was posted the same day Miller shared it with McHugh.

In September, the Trump administration denied temporary protected status to residents of the Bahamas fleeing the destruction of Hurricane Dorian despite widespread destruction.
...
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.

The novels apocalyptic plot centers on a flotilla of Indian people who invade France, led by a nonwhite Indian-born antagonist referred to as the turd eater a character who literally eats human feces. In one section, a white woman is raped to death by brown-skinned refugees. In another, a nationalist character shoots and kills a pro-refugee leftist over his support of race mixing. The white nationalist Social Contract Press plucked the 1973 book from relative obscurity and distributed it in the United States.
...
Miller returns to the subject of nonwhite immigration on Sept. 6, 2015. He sends McHugh a link to a tweet from conservative pundit David Frum that reads, Half of all violent crime in Germany committed by foreign youths. (Hatewatch reached out to Frum for more context about his tweet but did not receive any response.) McHugh responds to Millers email about Frums tweet with a follow-up remark about Europe, and Miller sends a link to a Vox.com article suggesting that SAT scores have dropped in part because of the inclusion of more poor and nonwhite students than in previous years. Miller then suggests Breitbart take a look at The Camp of the Saints.

Why does Tucker always look like he's hearing someone explain "Two Girls, One Cup" for the first time?

White nationalism is official government policy. We all know this, yet trying to discuss WHY trump has the supporters he does is banned here for some reason

Trump and Trunp supporters all support white nationalism

Pushing white nationalism rhetoric is the not so secret strategy that conservatives have been pushing for over 30 years, so it's not shocking to see it finally becoming more and more who they really are in public. Trump is just a vessel for them to push all those ideologies onto, and like any grifter he doesn't give a fuck and will embrace anything that gives him what he wants in the end.

Fuck all these people

But we just criticize him because Orange Man Bad and the media/Soros told us to.

can we finally put an end to the narrative that a jewish man (stephen miller) can't be a white nationalist?

I'm waiting (actually, not really) for when an actual White Supremacist--someone who doesn't deny it at all and wears it on their sleeve--runs for President, and has a run very similar to Trump's in that someone who shouldn't be anywhere near the White House makes it to the final election day. I wonder how many on that side would stop pretending?

Andrew Jackson and Woodrow Wilson already did that.

Oh it'll likely happen within the next 4 election cycles or so due to the demographic trends likely forcing the Republicans to need to expand their voter base more and more as well as seeing the success of people running on messages becoming more sympathetic to that ideology. 2045 is likely when the US becomes a majority-minority, so look for it to heat up more and more as we get closer to that inevitability.

The only people who push that narrative are those who want to downplay white nationalism

Yeah a lot of modern white nationalists aren't Hitler's Aryan ideal, so it's always been a weird argument.

b-b-b-bbut this administration loves the blacks and hispanics! 45 said so!!! </shit logic>

One of the fringe benefits of making constant bullshit claims of antisemitism against Muslim politicians is that when they call out your bigotry, you can just say the other side is doing the same thing when they find genuinely horrible things on your side. It looks like the things he wrote were so bad that they were beyond the pale for a Breitbart editor, so I imagine some really vile stuff will be coming out. No doubt some emails about how white genocide is a real and dangerous thing. Probably some "science" about how whites are more intelligent and black people are more prone to crime and shit like that. Most likely he also called for Islam to be eradicated from the earth, and went on some tirades that we need to keep non-white immigrants out.

And no matter how horrible the things he says are, I'm sure both-sider "moderates" and "liberals" will be ready to dismiss it as being the same as that time Omar said "It's all about the Benjamins."

and to think that in 2016 there were so many people gaslighting those who called this shit out.

and in 2008 when people claimed that this sort of thing was "dead" in America just because it wasn't in their faces personally, and tried to chastise those who knew better

and now in 2019 people still act like the people reacting to the problem are the problem with that "both sides" bullshit, lol

It goes from "That's ridiculous" to "that's old news" so fast.

sad thing is that you can hop on YouTube and listen to the same rhetoric in the 90's, 80's, 70's and further back. it's always "no big deal" or "a long time ago."

the most unevolved demographic in America, lol

This shit is no longer funny at this point, can we please have these clowns kicked out of office now?

not aslong as republicans own the senate

he's certainly an idiot for it (well, being a white nationalist already makes one an idiot, but i digress). i don't get why a jewish man would be a white nationalist. it's an ideology that explicitly hates him and his people.

Probably a fallacy of exception, or, as more people recognize it, the "I'm not like OTHER girls" fallacy.

Note that I don't mean the exception fallacy, which is different.

White nationalism doesn't HAVE to include antisemitism though it frequently does.

This, and this is an issue a lot of the people who try to call out this bullshit fall into and it allows the White House to put out that inane statement that they did early to work as cover. Not only that, not all totalitarians or people who exhibit fascist tendencies will embrace neo Nazism or white nationalism, it just happens to be that there's a heavy overlap between them all.

But Stephen Miller is, objectively, one of the biggest threats and pieces of shit to ever be allowed in the White House. This man is an open bigot who would deport, at minimum, anyone who he doesn't want in the country for the vision that he wants.

no one said white nationalists were smart. that's why you have plenty of non-white white nationalists out there. even asians and black people

There was the one Asian guy on 261 that got banned precisely for this, even though he was an immigrant trying to get the rest of his family into America. He made a topic arguing for kicking immigrants out, and then another where he was worried that his family wouldn't be allowed in.

I think his logic was "well we're good so we'll be accepted".

What a fucking maroon.

That specifically was most likely because a lot of the ethno nationalist type tend to fall back into that bullshit about the bell curve and thus think they would be considered at the top of the rankings.

Despite the fact that the bell curve itself is complete bullshit

yeah wanting to be accepted by white people is a big thing with white nationalists that aren't white
