The White House is standing by senior adviser Stephen Miller as he faces calls from dozens of Democrats to resign after newly released emails showed he circulated material linked to white nationalism to conservative media before joining the administration.
The Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) has published summaries of hundreds of emails Miller sent to Katie McHugh, a former editor at Breitbart News. The emails contain links and references to far-right websites, with much of the focus on immigration. The SPLC is planning to release additional emails in the coming days.
Democrats have reacted to the emails with outrage, decrying Miller as a white nationalist and calling for his resignation. But the White House has scoffed at the source of the documents, painting the SPLC as a discredited group and defending Miller in an indication that one of Trump's longest tenured and most influential aides will weather the controversy.
"I work with Stephen. I know Stephen. He loves this country and hates bigotry in all forms - and it deeply concerns me as to why so many on the left consistently attack Jewish members of this Administration," deputy White House press secretary Hogan Gidley said in a statement.

(53,934 posts)Of course, they are "concerned" about people "attacking" him because he is a Jew. They ooze anti-Semitism, and the ones who they are calling anti-Semites for calling his ass out, may very well be anti-Semites, some pretending they give two shits about Jews, but, in this instance, the issue isn't his ethnicity, it is his repulsive bigotry.
