WH Defends Stephen Miller: Why Does The Left Consistently Attack Jewish Trump Admin Staffers?

[tenderfoot]

The Houston Chronicle reports:

A prominent Texas Democrat is joining calls from Congress for the resignation of a White House adviser credited with shaping President Donald Trump’s immigration policies after the Southern Poverty Law Center published emails showing the adviser promoting white nationalist viewpoints.

U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro, a San Antonio Democrat who leads the Congressional Hispanic Caucus, on Thursday called Stephen Miller “a white nationalist” who “has no business serving in the White House.”

“It’s clearer than ever that Stephen Miller is a far-right white nationalist with a racist and xenophobic worldview,” Castro said in a statement issued with the leaders of the Congressional Black Caucus, Congressional Asian Pacific American Caucus and the Congressional Progressive Caucus. “His beliefs are appalling, indefensible, and completely at odds with public service.”

The Hill reports:

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.

1. Give me a break

Nazi Miller's writings speak for him.

[The Velveteen Ocelot]

2. If he's also a Nazi who cares if he's Jewish?

His Jewish relatives have pretty much disowned him because he's a Nazi. https://www.politico.com/magazine/story/2018/08/13/stephen-miller-is-an-immigration-hypocrite-i-know-because-im-his-uncle-219351

3. Stephen Miller is a white nationalist

What he wrote in those emails is bigoted garbage.

[RainCaster]

4. The Hill has lost its soul

They are pushing more RW talking points each day. They are now preaching to an ever smaller base of believers.

[onenote]

5. Pathetic attempt to play the religion card.

Hey Gidley -- we "attack" members of this Administration without regard to race or religion.

[Vinca]

6. Hogan Gidley is going to need deprogramming that lasts for years.

[Caliman73]

17. No. No deprogramming.

She and all of the scum that continue to defend Trump and Miller need to meet the same fate as Joseph McCarthy and Roy Cohn did.

7. deflection from any direction they can do. To me its "noise" as it is for majority of americans

[Shrike47]

8. Who are the other Jewish members of this administration under constant attack?

I assume Jared. Anyone else?

[Polybius]

13. Steven Mnuchin is Jewish

Not sure of anyone else.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

14. Yes, Jared. And, Ivanka.

But, constant attack? No, the attacks are far too infrequent.

[TreasonousBastard]

9. Hint- it's not because he's Jewish.

[MontanaMama]

10. Po widdle nazi snowflake

apologist. Always the victims.

[SWBTATTReg]

11. Amazing that this admin. is using 'jewish' as a crutch, eh? Hypocrites. NT

[unblock]

12. Oy gevalt!

[brewens]

15. Reminds me of Jeff Gannon whining about being attacked for being gay. n/t

[Hekate]

16. Why? Because he's a putz, a momzer, and a shanda-- and that's just Stephen Miller. nt

[tulipsandroses]

18. They need to GFOHTBS!

Anyone can be a fucking bigot no matter their religion, race, gender, orientation.

I have seen it all.

Bigoted blacks against other races
bigoted gays against trans or gay men against lesbians
bigoted religious folks against other religions

Being from one persecuted group doesn't stop you from trying to persecute another group.

We should all stand on the side of calling out bigotry no matter where its coming from.

[Behind the Aegis]

19. "We should all stand on the side of calling out bigotry no matter where its coming from."

It is disgusting when someone attacks a group of people then hides behind the excuse that they are the "real" victim because they are being "attacked" (i.e called out/held accountable for their actions) because of their own minority status.

Miller is not a victim of anti-Semitism because he is being called out for his white nationalist ties.
