17 Jewish organizations send open letter demanding Stephen Millers dismissal

Last week, seventeen Jewish organizations penned an open letter and sent it to the White House calling for a dismissal of the far-right Senior Policy Advisor Stephen Miller. The letter claims Miller is guilty of “extreme viewpoints and advocacy of racist policies.” The protest was led by the National Council of Jewish Women.

the Jewish community . His family escaped Russia when it turned

He had a good friend that was Hispanic he told him he could no longer see. He was never a person in need.
How do people turn into monsters like Miller ?.

I understand a man born unto and educated in ignorance, jealousy or hate but he is a scary evil that I don't even understand it's origins
That's what really scares me the most he is serving as a role model in the WH for younger white repugs
He must go he is evil and will not stop

Thank you Ntnl Council of Jewish Women

in the link provided. Phrases like "some have suggested" and "others have claimed" indicate speculation, not fact.

Make Miller talk about his Nazi proclivities.
When LBJ first ran for Congress he handed his campaign manage a picture of a pig and told him to accuse his opponent of having sex with that pig. Hi campaign manage was aghast saying there was no proof. LBJ's response was "make him talk about it."

You stated it as a fact, not as a point of strategy. I think clarity is important, but whatever.

His mother, Miriam, who came to Los Angeles as a social worker, grew up in the well-to-do Glosser family of New Deal Democrats in Johnstown, Pa. Her grandparents were Eastern European immigrants.
Stephen’s father, Michael, is a Stanford-trained lawyer who pivoted into real estate management. Peers described the elder Miller as a Jewish community leader, who served in board posts for a number of philanthropic organizations, including on the national board of Hebrew Union College-Jewish Institute of Religion (HUC-JIR) and the board of directors of The Jewish Federation of Greater Los Angeles. Together the couple owns and operates a real estate investment company that controls 2,500 residential units from Pico Rivera to Valley Village.
