AM Joy Guest: Stephen Miller In The WH 'Says Something Terrible About Us'
Guest Tom Nichols perfectly summed up the frightening creepiness of Donald Trumps white nationalist policy adviser, Stephen Miller, and how far weve sunk in allowing him to remain in office.

Joy Reid closed her interview with national security expert and ex-Republican Tom Nichols today by asking about the rise of Republican white nationalism as exemplified by Miller. Despite his own Jewish heritage, Reid noted that 25 Jewish lawmakers have asked Trump to fire Miller over his white nationalist comments. Yet Republicans have refused even to include the words white nationalism in a bill designed to combat that exact problem in the military. She followed with a clip of Miller calling Democrats racist and Trump the anti-racist president.
Can you explain this guy to me? Reid asked her guest.
Nichols answer was epic:
There was once a time in this country where somebody like Stephen Miller, after the first thing he'd said or written, even before the election, would never have been allowed to walk the halls of the White House. There were limits in this country and now we sort of shrug and say, Eh, what are you going to do? And I think thats really tragic. It says something terrible about us, as a country, that he still works in the White House.

(22,166 posts)hateful rhetoric and constant BS. Sad angry little boys is exactly one way of describing these friendless, creepy people, who hang around the trash cans out by the wood shed. Not smoking dope or anything like that, it is just suits them best to hang around the trash cans of society.

(2,809 posts)Something just honorably opposite about the remaining 65,853,514 of us, something a bit off on the priorities of the 3rd party and "protest" voters, and something idiotically detached, plodding and languorous about those who shirk their civic duties.
I'd like to crowd-source one way tickets to Russia for the entire remainder of the 62,984,828 who still root for Trumpism, including every faithful servant of the hate-media ilk.

(17,986 posts)...the fact that we have a National Socialist stooge with direct influence on the president of the United States. A president, I might add, who will believe anything you tell him if you stroke his ego at the same time. And roughly 30% of our populace think that's just fine. No, I'm just not getting use to that. Not one bit.

(12,875 posts)It's the Trump effect of outrage overload. He has been steadily lowering the bar and making the once unthinkable normal.
This POtuS is damning the soul of America from within, destroying the ideals we once held in high esteem.

(36,525 posts)When are we going to take hate radio seriously and address this scourge on our airwaves? Why don't our billionaires buy a few radio stations in the heartland, hire some top-notch writing talent, and challenge the hours and hours of hate and misinformation that blankets rural America? Run the stations at a loss if necessary. I guess running a presidential campaign is more fun?
We are here because of hate radio, which over the decades has morphed into a monster that includes Fox, hate blog sites, and social media. The dems need a marketing department, stat.
