Stephen Miller Likely Sees Other Ethnicities As 'Unworthy' To Be Americans, Uncle Says


Trump sure surrounds himself with the best --the best bigots!



Stephen Miller Likely Sees Other Ethnicities As ‘Unworthy’ To Be Americans, Uncle Says

Family separation and the travel ban could be a “gateway to tyranny,” David S. Glosser warned HuffPost on Thursday.


Stephen Miller, a senior policy adviser to President Donald Trump, likely regards people of other ethnicities as “unworthy or inherently unsuited to life” in the United States, his uncle told HuffPost on Thursday.

David S. Glosser, a retired neuropsychologist and Miller’s maternal uncle, said the actions of his nephew and the Trump administration “demonstrate derogatory religious, racial and ethnic profiling in its most primitive guise.”

Miller’s controversial immigration policies, such as family separation at the U.S.-Mexico border and a travel ban affecting immigrants from seven countries — five of them Muslim majority — were the subject of a scathing op-ed written by Glosser and published Monday by Politico.

The column immediately went viral, with Miller’s critics praising Glosser for blasting his nephew as an “immigration hypocrite” and for saying his policies repudiated “the very foundation of our family’s life in this country.” Miller’s maternal grandparents arrived at Ellis Island in 1903 to escape anti-Semitic pogroms in Belarus, Yahoo News reported in June.


The Trump government appears to be immune to science, to fact or reason, to empathy and blind to our history and blind to the suffering of other people. David S. Glosser, uncle of Stephen Miller



Glosser told HuffPost on Thursday that he feels “resentment, horror, shame and anger” over the anti-immigration policies crafted by his nephew, which he suggested are a “gateway to tyranny.”

“When Trump came into office, he immediately tried to enact policies which discriminated against and disadvantaged people based on their religion, based on their country of origin, based on their ethnicity,” Glosser said. “When these ideas get normalized as an acceptable part of our political discourse, that’s dangerous.”............................................................
