According to senior adviser Stephen Miller, the Trump White House has settled on a campaign stoking racism as a desperate ploy to keep Republicans in control of Congress.
Miller made that admission in an interview with Breitbart, the white supremacist website known for highlighting black crime. Miller, among the most loyal of Trumps underlings, once infamously announced that Trumps power will not be questioned and attacked the pro-immigrant message etched on the Statue of Liberty.
Miller explained to Breitbart that lacking any strong, positive message going into the midterm elections, Republicans plan to use the criminal gang MS-13 as a boogeyman to scare up votes.
The big fight this summer is going to be with the open borders Democratic caucus in Congress, Miller said, using a lie that Republicans have often used to attack Democrats. There is no such thing as an open borders faction in Congress; Republicans like Miller simply use the inflammatory term to attack those who are pro-immigrant.
