,
We’ve just released an explosive new report showing that key White House aide Stephen Miller regularly promoted white nationalist literature and racist propaganda to a far-right website during the runup to the 2016 presidential election.
Our exclusive report is based on some 900 emails we obtained from a former Breitbart News editor who corresponded regularly with Miller in 2015 and 2016.
Miller is the architect of President Trump’s cruelest, most inhumane immigration and anti-Muslim policies — policies that endanger lives and traumatize children.
And his emails – written when he was an aide to former Sen. Jeff Sessions and later as a Trump campaign staffer – illustrate his clear animosity to people of color.
Miller has no business in the White House. Add your name if you agree!
In the emails, Miller:
- Shared articles from the white nationalist website VDARE, which traffics in the “white genocide” or “great replacement” myth that people of color are systematically replacing white people. It’s a racist doctrine that has incited numerous white supremacist terror attacks, including the mass murder of 51 people in Christchurch, New Zealand, and the attack that killed 22 in El Paso in August.
- Recommended an apocalyptic, overtly racist novel called The Camp of the Saints, which is popular among white nationalists and neo-Nazis in the U.S. The book depicts a Europe overrun by millions of brown-skinned migrants. Following the email, Breitbart published an article called “Camp of the Saints” Seen Mirrored in Pope’s Message.
- Tried to create a counternarrative after Amazon.com and other retailers halted sales of Confederate-themed merchandise following the Charleston church massacre in 2015. In one email, he wrote, “Have you thought about going to Amazon and finding commie flags and then doing a story on that? I think you’ve hit on something potentially profound.”
- Referred repeatedly to President Calvin Coolidge, who signed the Immigration Act of 1924, a law based on eugenics that banned immigrants from Asia and targeted “dysgenic” Italians and Eastern European Jews. The law, which limited entry to the U.S. to immigrants from Northern Europe, was praised by Adolf Hitler as a model for Nazi Germany.
These emails are proof that Miller believes immigrants of color are a danger to our country and should not be allowed in — a cornerstone of Trump’s immigration policy.
Hate doesn’t belong in the White House. Add your name to show your support for removing Stephen Miller from the halls of power.
Please remember to stay active in your community. Go beyond elevating these issues on social media. Write your elected officials and let them know you are not indifferent to those who are suffering. Speak out in public forums, and make your voice heard in local media outlets. Our democracy depends on it.
Sincerely,
Southern Poverty Law Center
