Fire aide for supporting white nationalism

Jewish lawmakers ask Trump

Stephen Miller, one of Donald Trump’s most radical advisors, is known for his unswerving defense of a resolutely anti-immigrant policy.

But a recently leaked trove of emails also shows him appearing to promote white supremacist views -- prompting 25 Jewish members of Congress to demand his dismissal.

In a letter dated Friday, the lawmakers -- all Democrats -- wrote, “As Jewish members of Congress, we are calling on you to immediately relieve White House Senior Advisor Stephen Miller of all government responsibilities and dismiss him from your administration.”

They added, “His documented support for white nationalist and virulently anti-immigrant tropes is wholly unacceptable.”

More than 100 Democratic members of Congress had issued a similar plea after the emails were published last month by a non-profit association that monitors hate groups, the Southern Poverty Law Center.
