Former Breitbart Editor Claims Trump Adviser Stephen Miller is a 'White Supremacist'

Source: mediaite.com

Former Breitbart editor Katie McHugh claimed in a new interview that President Donald Trump adviser Stephen Miller is a “white supremacist.” McHugh told CNN “I would absolutely call him a white supremacist.” McHugh also claimed that Miller is driven by “white supremacy and anti-immigration especially.” McHugh also claimed that Miller had editorial control of a “far-right website”

“He was shaping news coverage of a far-right website that was rapidly growing … and was controlling the narrative behind Donald Trump’s candidacy and the tenor of the electorate, especially the Republican electorate,” McHugh says. “I was a white nationalist,” McHugh told CNN. “Whatever you want to call it — white nationalist, white supremacist. But that part [of me] is dead.”

McHugh famously came out against the alt-right in a long form interview with BuzzFeed News earlier this year.

NJ is investigating it as domestic terrorism. The Trump administration has chosen a "do nothing" approach.

I am 100% serious and no it is not funny. His own Uncle lambasted him for his white supremacist and anti-immigration views in a scorching opinion piece at politico in Aug 2018.

I cannot remember the last time I saw anyone associated with Breitbart be honest about something. I guess that's why he's a former editor...
