Stephen Miller's Late-Night 'Self-Loathing' Rage Post Immediately Backfires [View all]

Stephen Miller’s rant about a “self-loathing” America was swamped by online backlash as critics lined up to credit immigrants with America’s biggest leaps.

Miller, 40, Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff for policy and hardliner immigration czar, fired off a late-night X post on Sunday, complaining that the modern world does not match “what our ancestors imagined” because America and the West supposedly spent generations in “a vast, consuming project of self-loathing, self-denigration and the redistribution of our national resources.”

It followed an earlier post from the previous evening, where Miller wrote: “Someone should write an alternate historical novel where Americans are the first to master the automobile, the first in flight, the first to harness the atom, the first to land on the moon—but just keep going and never open our borders to the entire third world for sixty years."

But Miller’s reading of history was derided for being myopic, misleading, and hypocritical, since Miller himself is a descendant of Jewish immigrants who fled persecution abroad and built a successful life for themselves.
