Stephen Miller is running a shadow war against Biden. It's based on deceptions.



Friday, February 26, 2021

By Greg Sargent

When the administration reopened a warehouse-like facility for migrant children in Texas this week, it caused a huge controversy on all sides. It inspired claims, mostly from the right, that President Biden is reverting to former president Donald Trump’s policies, proving Trump right all along.

But those claims are wrong. As such, this controversy reveals something else as well: the shadow war that former Trump adviser Stephen Miller is running against the new administration.

Miller is publicly encouraging enforcement agents to defy Biden’s new policies. He is calling on officials to collect internal information for future lawsuits against them.

And Miller is running a propaganda war to manufacture the impression that Biden’s agenda is already a catastrophe. The Post reports that Miller is encouraging GOP lawmakers to step up attacks along these lines.

This is domestic terrorism. I think you can label this an insurrection too.

and when there are no consequences for lies and treason, this is the country we get.
Republicans don’t give one crap about America and her citizens’ welfare. But without any accountability or consequences, their power will remain, rotting US beyond recognition.
