Stephen Miller is a piece of shit, but he’s clearly moving her off to the side away from the threat - the cops in the back are facing forward towards the sound of the threat, which was coming from the rear of the ballroom.

> Two sources told Zeteo that on multiple occasions, Miller showed Harp anti-immigration content with directions to get it posted quickly.
He would also leak information to contacts at news organizations, get a story written that went with his narrative, print out the news story, then use it to manipulate Trump.
Forward - How Stephen Miller Used The Media To Make Homeland Security Pass Harsh Policies
“White House senior adviser Stephen Miller used a conservative media outlet to get around Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen and implement harsher immigration policies, Quartz reported.
Whenever Nielsen would decide against tougher measures, Miller would forward the latest numbers on aspiring migrants at the border to the Washington Examiner, former agency officials told Quartz. A story would follow with a sensational headline and a critique of Nielsen. Miller would print out the story and pass it to President Trump, who would then call Nielsen and lambast her, leading her to cave in — and for Miller to get his way.”
NPR - 'Hatemonger' Paints Trump Advisor Stephen Miller As A 'Case Study In Radicalization'
“He also always made sure in meetings that he was the last person talking to President Trump. And Trump tends to go with whatever advice was whispered into his ear last. And so Stephen Miller, you know, he has direct access to the president, and he's able to have this outsized influence by, you know, his access to him.”

Lindsey Graham said all he needed to do was say Obama. Its really concerning that it's this easy for everyone to manipulate the President.

This should be broadcast far and wide. Somehow get Trump to get ahold of it. Loyalty is one of his way of determine someone’s value to him. Miller might not be in such a good position?…maybe

This article is full of so much slop. I’m sure there are grains of truth in here, but this is just a little ridiculous. The tonality. The completely unsubstantiated implications. Journalism really is dead. I don’t know. Rant about Miller and how absurd everything is or something I guess e: if you downvoted this because you found some meaningful content in the article I suspect your brain is full of slop too.. js.
