At a State Department summit, Trump’s policy enforcer turned counterterrorism into a beauty inspection—and exposed the authoritarian project beneath it.
I don’t think it’s useful for members of the media to repeat Miller’s prejudices regarding people on the political left. It gives his psychopathic utterances a kind of credibility. There’s nothing in his racist rantings worth arguing about. When he says people on the left are jealous, hateful, and don’t look normal, he’s merely projecting his own qualities onto them.
If a newscaster wants to play a clip of this sadistic ghoul who’s a co-conspirator in creating the Trump Gestapo, then at least sandwich it in between a thorough commentary on the content of HIS character. Nothing a racist, misogynistic, unelected, dangerously delusional psychopath has to say should be of interest to anyone but his prison psychoanalyst.
Agreed about uncritical amplification. The quote matters because he attached that prejudice to government power. Show the receipt, identify the authoritarian move, then mock him until his coffin requests separate billing.
