Stephen Miller's Ex-Colleague: He's a 'Horrible Human Being'

A former White House colleague of Stephen Miller had some things to get off her chest about him over the weekend, revealing why she believes he is a “horrible human being.”

Olivia Troye, who served as homeland security and counterterrorism adviser to then-Vice President Mike Pence, scorched President Donald Trump’s top White House aide on a Sunday episode of the To The Contrary podcast.

“I think what you see is what you get with him,” Troye said when political commentator Charlie Sykes asked her about Miller. “He is a horrible human being. I think he is someone who has gone all in, down the rabbit hole, on extremism. And I think in his mind, there would be no migrants, immigrants, or any mixed race in our country.”

Troye said she had sat in many senior-level Cabinet meetings throughout multiple administrations but never seen anyone talk like Miller.

“I’ve heard him pontificate. He does it in a very bullying type of way,” she said. “I’ve never seen anyone talk down to people in that manner and lecture them, and we’re talking about things like, when he would say, ‘Do you want a bunch of Iraqi communities around this country?’ He’s very specific in his language about it.”

Stephen Miller is a self-hating Jew, which is what makes him so dangerous. My daughter said the other day she heard someone call him "Pee Wee German".

Which I think is even more fitting than "Pee Wee German." He even looks like Goebbels. Miller is Trump's KKKarl Rove, but with more cruelty and hate.

I don't normally like that type of nickname, but there are some rare exceptions and this is one. You probably couldn't get three out of ten adults in the US right now who could tell you who Goebbels was, and I think I am being generous.

He was an undergraduate at Duke and wrote a regular column for the student paper. Even allowing for the foolishness of youth, he was, clearly, a horrible person.

Some kind of narcissistic issue. I don't think he's a "self-hating Jew." There's no evidence that he hates other Jewish people. He hates and looks down on people of color.

would drop his trash on the ground instead of using a trash receptacle. When asked why, he told fellow
students “janitors are paid to pick up trash”.
I read that about Miller during Trump’s first term.
Apparently, he’s been a colossal jerk his entire life.

Mr. tough-guy. I'd love to see him backed up against a brick wall, surrounded by 3 sides. The open side is populated by about 100-200 people with no more fucks to give.

This MAGA performative dog and pony show is going to end badly. I firmly believe it is inevitable.

to post something similar about his qualifications as a human being! I've never fired a gun but I want to be part of the firing squad that executes him once the international trials find him guilty and sentence him to death!

drop him and Elon Musk onto the smallest most isolated deserted island there is with nothing but the clothes on their back with one machete and one ax hidden (separately) on the island. Return after a decade and shoot anything left to death on sight. With any luck they will kill each other or starve to death.
