25 Jewish members of Congress call on Trump to fire Stephen Miller over leaked emails

Needless to say, senior White House adviser Stephen Miller is controversial.  Among other things, Miller is widely credited (or blamed) for the Trump administration’s immigration policies.  CNN now reports that 25 Jewish Democratic members of Congress are calling on President Trump to remove Miller based on leaked emails that showed he promoted stories from white nationalist and fringe media organizations:  

“The lawmakers are the latest to call for Miller to be fired after hundreds of the Trump adviser’s emails during the lead-up to the 2016 election were leaked by a former white nationalist who was working for Breitbart News at the time. The emails revealed Miller’s anti-immigration stances and his penchant for sharing virulently white nationalist websites to shape Breitbart’s coverage of issues involving immigration and people of color.

In a letter to the President, the 25 lawmakers made clear they are deeply disturbed not only by Miller’s influence but also by the way the White House has defended him.

`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,’ the letter states. `His documentation of white nationalist and virulently anti-immigrant tropes is wholly unacceptable and disqualifying for a government employee.'”
