Holy buckets this story is both completely bonkers, and totally what one would expect. Imagine your most racist uncle from Thanksgiving, take that times 10, and imagine them as the President's most influential advisor. splcenter.org/hatewatch/2019…
Miller and Breitbart were the "southern strategy" on steroids. All political communications needed to associate people of color only with criminality, and whiteness only with victimization.
Of course Miller is a fan of VDARE, the white nationalist website to which Ann Coulter has increasingly gravitated since 2017. And of course Miller would be a fan of the "white gen*cide" rhetoric that the KKK invented in the 90s and found to be an effective recruitment tool.
Looks as if Miller played an important role in putting the racist book, Camp of the Saints, at the center of the right and far right's canon. Bannon is a huge fan of that text, as are the nation's most avid Nazis and white nationalists. Charming.
I've long wondered how well known white nationalist Jared Taylor, editor of American Renaissance, got a VIP seat at Trump's inauguration. This makes me think our man Miller may have had something to do with it.
A week after the Roof murders in a Charleston church, Miller is hard at work trying to weaponize the debate over the Confederate flag for political benefit. This is just so ghoulish.
In October 2015 someone immersed in the alt-right ideology furthered by Breitbart and Miller murdered people in Oregon. Miller tries to shift the focus to the race of the murderer. Again, the ghoulishness is staggering.
Reagan liked Coolidge because of his laissez-faire, small government policies. Miller's variety of Republicans admire Coolidge for much uglier reasons, reasons which they usually keep hidden just below the surface when not amongst their fellow white nationalists.
Worth noting that Miller is far from the only contemporary Republican who is a fan of good old Coolidge. Here's a thread on an interview where Senator Mike Lee waxes rhapsodic on the marvelousness of Silent Cal.
Not a coincidence that Miller got his start in politics working for Jeff Sessions, another Coolidge fan. theatlantic.com/politics/archi…
As a cadre of white nationalists struggle to take over the GOP, it strikes me as not entirely implausible that Miller is functioning, from within the WH, as the unofficial king of the groypers.
