DHS Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen’s resignation Sunday provides a window into White House senior adviser Stephen Miller’s campaign to replace more moderate voices — like Nielsen — with immigration hardliners at the Departments of Homeland Security, Justice and State.
According to a Sunday Politico report, while it is unclear how much direct influence Miller had over Nielsen’s ouster, he has been contacting lower-level officials and threatening them to staunch the flow of immigrants across the border, or else.
In one example, Miller reportedly had a hand in the abrupt pulling of ICE chief candidate Ronald Vitiello’s nomination Friday after Vitiello expressed ambivalence about closing down the U.S.-Mexico border.
“There’s definitely a larger shakeup abreast being led by Stephen Miller and the staunch right wing within the administration,” a person close to Nielsen told Politico. “They failed with the courts and with Congress and now they’re eating their own.”
If Nielsen is a moderate, I shudder to think of who her replacement may be. I heard her interviewed on TV once and the radio once, and all I could hear when she spoke was the coldness in her voice. No kindness, no empathy, really no soul at all.
If Joyce were to write a novel about Miller set in DC it’d be called: a portrait of a zealot as a bald man.
A sociopath is a term used to describe someone who has antisocial personality disorder (ASPD).
Miller is a sociopath.
“Trump-N-Furter, it’s all over
Your mission is a failure
Your lifestyle’s too extreme
I’m your new commander
You now are my prisoner
We return to Trump Tower
Prepare the transit beam…”
Pure evil.
