Summary

CNN commentator Tara Setmayer sharply criticized Stephen Miller, calling him a “despicable” figure whose “own family has disowned him,” following news that he would serve as deputy chief of staff for policy in Donald Trump’s second administration.

Setmayer condemned Miller’s role in creating the family separation policy during Trump’s first term, describing him as “racist” and “xenophobic.”

She noted Miller likely couldn’t pass Senate confirmation, which is why Trump may rely on recess appointments.

Setmayer argued that voters who chose Trump also endorsed Miller’s influence and controversial policies.

    There won’t be a second Hitler; this time around those with the strings of power will be careful to always have a disposable salesman in the official seat of power.

      Hitler did the same

      The are no written records e.g. for the Holocaust, that came from Hitler. He only gave verbal orders to people near him, which would put it onto paper and make at an order for the awaiting underlings.

    I don’t know why so much complaining.

    The people basically elected this guy Miller. He is the essence of trump. Most people obviously want people like him to run the country.
