The Network Beneath the Surface- Part II
In November 2019, the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC) released a trove of more than 900 emails between Stephen Miller and Breitbart News, written between 2015 and 2016. These emails, obtained from a former Breitbart editor, Katie McHugh, pulled back the curtain on the ideological engine behind Miller’s policymaking. What they revealed was not just a policy adviser with hardline views—but someone deeply immersed in white nationalist and nativist thought.
📈 Among the most damning revelations:
🔵 Miller promoted content from VDARE, American Renaissance, and The Camp of the Saints—a notoriously racist French novel portraying immigrants as invaders overrunning Western civilization.
"The Camp of the Saints is a must-read... it shows what's coming if we don't act now." – excerpted from leaked email.
🔵 He forwarded articles about crime committed by non-white immigrants and advocated for publishing those stories to stoke public fear.
🔵 He repeatedly emphasized the need to cut legal immigration, not just undocumented immigration—aligning with long-standing white nationalist goals of demographic control.
🔵 Miller didn’t merely share these sources in passing; he urged Breitbart to build editorial strategies around them. At one point, he suggested using the San Bernardino shooting to call for a total suspension of immigration, a stance echoed days later in Trump’s campaign rhetoric.
🔵 The SPLC concluded that Miller’s “influence over immigration policy is unparalleled” and warned that his beliefs were in lockstep with white nationalist ideology. While members of Congress, civil rights groups, and editorial boards demanded his resignation, Miller remained untouched within the administration—defiant and unapologetic.
📢 Final Closing Line for Part II:
"SPLC’s conclusion labeling Miller a propagandist for white nationalist ideas."
