If you needed any more proof Stephen Miller is a white supremacist psychopath:
The day after the first strike, Miles Taylor, a former chief of staff for the Department of Homeland Security during the first Trump presidency, shared a telling exchange. In his newsletter, Taylor said the exchange took place after Trump visited a counter-drug command center in Florida.
On the flight home, Stephen Miller — then a senior advisor to the president — sat down across from me and the head of the U.S. Coast Guard. What followed was a conversation I’ll never forget.
“Admiral,” Miller asked, “the military has aerial drones, correct?”
“Yes,” the Admiral answered.
“And some of those drones are equipped with missiles, correct?”
“Sure,” the Admiral said, beginning to catch on.
Miller pressed further: “And when a boat full of migrants is in international waters, they aren’t protected by the U.S. Constitution, right?”
The Admiral clarified that while technically true, international law still applied.
“Then tell me why,” Miller said, “can’t we use a Predator drone to obliterate that boat?”
The Admiral, a veteran of military command, was dumbfounded. “Because it would be against international law,” he replied. You can’t kill unarmed civilians just because you want to.
Stephen Miller didn’t appear interested in the legal implications. Indeed, he seemed more interested in whether anyone could stop Trump from committing such acts.
“Admiral,” he concluded, “I don’t think you understand the limitations of international law.”
