The uncle of incoming White House deputy chief of staff for policy, Stephen Miller, spoke out Tuesday against the longtime Trump ally‘s hardline stance on immigration, telling The Daily Mail that it‘s a bit rich considering Miller’s family history. “More than 70 of our family who were denied entry to the US from 1925-1940, because of their ethnicity/religion, due to the xenophobia of the ‘America First’ political faction of the day, were all gassed or machine gunned by the Nazi Einsatzgruppen in WWII,” Dr. David Glosser told the outlet. Miller, an architect of Donald Trump’s controversial family separation policy who has espoused white nationalist talking points, was previously a speechwriter for Trump. In that role, Miller filled the campaign with increasingly dark rhetoric about immigrants “poisoning the blood” of the U.S. Glosser compared that language to the way Nazis justified extermination camps. “The killers‘ political masters’ rhetoric had portrayed them as being sub-human, criminal, or even demonic elements that needed to be expelled, expunged, and eventually exterminated,' the retired neuropsychologist said. “The same pattern of seeking power by exciting and exploiting racial anxieties and blaming scapegoats in times of plague, economic, or social turmoil has been a tragic element of human history since time immemorial.”
