https://www.democracynow.org/2020/6/11/headlines/white_nationalist_white_house_adviser_stephen_miller_drafting_trump_speech_on_raceSenior White House adviser Stephen Miller is reportedly drafting a speech for President Trump to deliver about race in America. Last November, the Southern Poverty Law Center leaked a cache of Millers emails showing longtime support for white nationalism, far-right extremist ideas and racist conspiracy theories. Miller, who co-authored President Trumps inaugural address, is the architect of Trumps zero-tolerance immigration policies, including family separations.
