Democrats call for Stephen Miller to resign after leak of xenophobic emails

Several prominent Democrats have called for White House senior adviser Stephen Miller to resign following the release of emails in which he purportedly linked to white nationalist websites.

The Southern Poverty Law Center released a cache of hundreds of emails Tuesday leaked by former Breitbart writer Katie McHugh, who corresponded with Miller between 2015 and 2016. In the correspondence, Miller urged Breitbart's increased coverage of crimes by Hispanic and nonwhite people.

So what can we on DU do to help get the ball rolling. Time to start calling Congress specifically to complain about Miller? OAC and Omar have called for his resignation. What government agencies can we complain to? Anyone know? He needs to be fired.

on edit: Is NBC afraid to say racist? OAC has a petition we can sign. See post #32 https://www.democraticunderground.com/100212687233#post32

We have a government with rules against their paid workers expressing views like Miller does.

you're allowed to be skeptical (there's a few others of us around here) but that's the story for now.

I had to pull the plug at the white supremacist teen singing duo Prussian Blue. It'll be interesting to see where McHugh ends up - truly repentant or back to her old (true?) ways once the right opportunity presents itself.

Just put his face on the news 24/7 for a few days, explaining that Miller is where the real brain lies. That ought to do it.

and this is a lot more up front and blatant that what we've seen the past couple years. Stephen has been clever enough to be in the background a lot for his role in the administration. And partially as a result of that, you could probably rate him as among the most effective in actually accomplishing his agenda within the WH circle. You also have to note -- He's still THERE!
