Having sent around links to VDARE writers yourself, I could understand why you would want to think that way.

Fact is, this administration has normalized white supremacy at the highest levels like no other.  To the point that their followers think that open allegiance to the ideologies that surround that movement is totally fine. 

It isn’t.  And wouldn’t be tolerated in any professional administration where the head was not himself a daily font of intolerance.

What in the WORLD is going on at the Northwestern student newspaper?
Please excuse them for practicing , ahem, Journalism while studying in a College of Journalism!
Agreed. Without the snark.

Ok, but you have to laugh at the Trumpists here being suddenly so concerned about journalistic integrity.

Yeah, Trump has put a white supremacist in charge of his immigration policy. Nothing to see here!

Anyone who would want to argue that the Trump Campaign didn't collude with the Russians (and there are a few here) are hopefully paying attention to what is going on in the Roger Stone trial.  Not just Gates' testimony here, but Bannon's as well.

Last time I read about Stephen Miller's influence on Admin policy it was back when they were trying to deny green cards to anyone who was enrolled in a public assistance program and that was...one month ago.

In my best Captain Renault voice:  I am shocked!

from the article....

Quote
In a September 2015 email, Miller recommended that Breitbart write about “The Camp of the Saints,” a racial-dystopian novel by French author Jean Raspail. The book, linked to the far-right movement, portrays immigrants as dark-skinned, feces-eating invaders of white society....   

The French can be incredibly racist.  This is something I learned quickly when I spent three months in a provincial town in Burgundy.  Though the principal concern i encountered was more about speaking French properly than possible fecal meals.

Expected to see some meat in the piece - given the headline

No direct quotes, lots of opinion.

900 emails advocating white nationalism?   I'm not sure we define meat the same way.

But sure, if you want to ostrich out on reality you don't like, by all means just duck any ugly truth as "lots of opinion."   Seems to be the MO of the GOP these days.

Miller is a racist scumbag, and the architect of Trump's immigration policy.   "Get over it!"
