Jewish Groups Demand Stephen Miller Resign From White House

As the White House smears critics of the Trump adviser as anti-Semitic, Miller’s “fellow American Jews” cited “irrefutable proof” of his white nationalism.




Multiple Jewish groups have called on White House senior adviser Stephen Miller to resign after leaked emails published last week showed the extent of his white nationalist worldview.

Jews Against White Nationalism, an initiative involving eight Jewish organizations, released a statement Tuesday calling Miller a “white nationalist” and the “architect of the Trump administration’s cruel and endless attacks on immigrants.”


“And with irrefutable proof of his deep-seated racism, xenophobia, and Islamophobia,” the statement continued, “and with evidence that he has promoted websites spreading antisemitic conspiracy theories, he cannot be allowed to remain a federal employee.”

The eight organizations — Bend the Arc: Jewish Action, The Jewish Vote, T’ruah, Never Again Action, J Street, IfNotNow, Jews for Racial & Economic Justice, and the Jewish Vote — launched an online petition addressed to Miller.

“As your fellow American Jews,” the petition states, “we will not rest until you resign.”

The petition adds to mounting pressure from the Jewish community to get Miller to leave the White House, and offers a sharp rebuke to the White House’s twisted attempt to smear Miller’s critics as anti-Semites...................................................................

Good to see this. Past time these groups woke up to Miller and his cruel existence!

PS. This article talks specifically about the Jewish groups.

Miller is a disgrace and should be gone yesterday. However, this move will only have the effect of making Trump love Miller even more. Just the way it is.

I worry that it would be only a cosmetic change which may provide an illusion to some people that the GOP and WH dysfunction has been fixed if he is removed. It's much deeper than that and we really need to not forget.

But, isn't it amazing how some think we (Jews) have to be responsible for other Jews, as evidenced in the shitty remark in the OP. As if it is the responsibility of the Jewish community to clean up the mess in the WH!

Granted, this is not Trump *personally* stating or writing anti-Semitic BS, but doesn't his keeping Miller on staff make him anti-semitic by definition ? President Obama 1) would never had such a anti-semitic creep on staff and 2) once notified, would oust the man or woman so fast our heads would spin.

What do you think ? Thanks.

I have referred to him as "Sieg Heil" Miller pretty much since the first time I saw him speak. Even a good part of his family has publicly disowned him.
