A Jewish white nationalist?
For the most part, the alt-right hates Jews, but Stephen Miller shows that the feeling isn’t always mutual
Many are calling for the resignation of long-time Trump advisor Stephen Miller now that the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has definitively confirmed what most already knew: He’s a white nationalist. A former Breitbart reporter leaked emails showing how he encouraged the outlet to write several anti-immigrant stories. Many of these exchanges referenced reports that original appeared on white nationalist websites like VDARE and American Renaissance (AmRen). He also name-dropped the racist French novel Camp of the Saints, considered a classic in the white nationalist circles on par with other race war porn like The Turner Diaries.
This isn’t the first time the accusation has be leveled against Miller. Journalists in the past have pointed out Miller’s coy use of dogwhistles, such as statements about Emma Lazarus’ famous poem on the Statue of Liberty, which echoed a popular white nationalist meme. Alt-right media and forums celebrated Miller’s comments. A headline on Occidental Dissent read “(((Stephen Miller))) Goes Full Fash On Lying Media Snakes, Sends Jews Into Rabid Rage.”
Miller’s defenders frequently use the fact that he is Jewish as a shield.
