Stephen Miller, who is currently a senior White House advisor for the Trump administration, is now at the center of a leaked email scandal thanks to a Southern Poverty Law Center article that details emails he sent to Breitbart News in 2015 and 2016. Katie McHugh who is the source of the leaks worked at Breitbart from 2014-2017 and submitted around 900 of Miller's emails to Hatewatch, the Southern Poverty Law Center's blog.

According to Hatewatch, Miller's emails include "white nationalist websites, a “white genocide”-themed novel in which Indian men rape white women, xenophobic conspiracy theories and eugenics-era immigration laws that Adolf Hitler lauded in “Mein Kampf.” After language from the emails made it to Twitter, many users called for Stephen Miller's resignation and openly discussed how unsurprised they were by his beliefs.

 
A direct quote from the editor who leaked the emails, showed a connection between Miller's beliefs and some of Trump's current policies.

“What Stephen Miller sent to me in those emails has become policy at the Trump administration.” -Katie McHugh, former editor at Breitbart

Several pointed out that he was hired because of his beliefs.

Y’all. Stephen Miller was hired precisely because he’s a white nationalist.

Some users decided to provide their own summary of the emails.

Regardless of the content matter, we did get some good videos.

There was a consensus that nothing about Miller's leaks were surprising in any sense.

So here’s the unspoken secret about Stephen Miller’s emails. Any reporter who covered DC in 2013 (and many who did still are), received multiple unhinged, racist screeds per week from Miller and about immigration when he was Sessions’ spokesman. Direct to THEIR inboxes. https://t.co/ijOc397YsL

If you think Stephen Miller's emails are racist, you should see the stuff he's been saying publicly for years.

Democratic members of Congress were quick to respond to the leaked emails.

As I said earlier this year: Stephen Miller is a white nationalist.And now we have the emails to prove it. This type of racism and hatred has no place in our government. Miller needs to step down. Now. https://t.co/cvmOXcjAeo

As did 2020 presidential candidates.

 

Stephen Miller's white nationalist views are a danger to the American people. We are going to defeat this hateful administration and everything it stands for. https://t.co/xQzvhanO8n

Donald Trump put a Neo-Nazi in charge of immigration policy. Both him, and Stephen Miller, are a shame to our nation.https://t.co/9qMNyFY1d6

Several were quick to air their doubts and condemn the article.

I get not liking the SPLC. I don't like them. I get having doubts about their work. They've fucked up in the past!What I don't get is what benefit there is to being a Stephen Miller email truther. Bizarre thing to stick your neck for. Stupid, really.

— Jim Swift (@JimSwiftDC) November 12, 2019

 

For my sins, I read all 6K words of the SPLC's latest Two Minutes (Twenty Minutes?) Hate against Stephen Miller (written by MichaelEHayden, based on e-mails provided by disgruntled former Breitbart employee k_mcq). It was so explosive I almost fell asleep before finishing it.

Mostly people just wanted to know why Miller's emails weren't receiving more media attention.

I guess the emails leaked about Stephen Miller outlining his Nazi agenda isn’t as serious in the media’s eyes as Hillary’s emails to her daughter Chelsea? Got it.

Dear WH press: Impeachment is a huge story. So is Stephen Miller’s affinity for VDARE. Please multi-task.

It will be forgotten by tomorrow but Stephen Miller, one of Trump's most loyal and influential advisors, is a white supremacist. He believes in white supremacist conspiracy theories, reads their literature, shares it, champions their ideology and crafts it into policy.

Some users were frustrated with the apathy displayed on most on Twitter.

My thing, with regard to the “well of course he’s a white nationalist” nonchalance I’m seeing from folks about Stephen Miller is if y’all are so knowledgeable about so many white people and their white power links why aren’t you doing anything about it?https://t.co/cLyPuPZfKS

And to others, the bigger news story was thast Breitbart News became a verified news source on Facebook.

Also wanna point out that Facebook included far-right Breitbart News in its new 'high quality' news tab. This, the place that received 900 emails from Stephen Miller on his racist and xenophobic perspective.
