As the White House smears critics of the Trump adviser as anti-Semitic, Miller's "fellow American Jews" cited "irrefutable proof" of his white nationalism.
Multiple Jewish groups have called on White House senior adviser Stephen Miller to resign after leaked emails published last week showed the extent of his white nationalist worldview.
The eight organizations — Bend the Arc: Jewish Action, The Jewish Vote, T’ruah, Never Again Action, J Street, IfNotNow, Jews for Racial & Economic Justice, and the Jewish Vote — launched an online petition addressed to Miller.The petition adds to mounting pressure from the Jewish community to get Miller to leave the White House, and offers a sharp rebuke to the White House’s twisted attempt to smear Miller’s critics as anti-Semites.
In response, the White House, while never providing evidence that the emails weren’t authentic, lashed out at the SPLC, calling it an “utterly-discredited, long-debunked far-left smear organization.” Sophie Ellman-Golan, a leader of the Jews Against White Nationalism campaign, called the Trump administration’s allegations of anti-Semitism “outrageous.”
This sentiment was echoed by Washington Post columnist Paul Waldman, who is Jewish, in a recent article. “I’m sure that at some point, someone made a more repugnant attempt to use an accusation of anti-Semitism to shield someone from accountability for their own bigotry,” Waldman wrote. “I just can’t recall any.”
“In his role as your senior advisor, Stephen Miller has promoted hate speech spewed from neo-Nazis, bigots, and white supremacists,” the letter said. “His advancement of white nationalist ideology has resulted in policies ― and violent acts ― that actively harm immigrants, people of color, and marginalized communities.”
