The Somali American lawmaker’s comment comes after the noted racist and Homeland Security adviser essentially said migrants are ruining the U.S.
Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) said on Sunday that the dehumanizing language used against immigrants by noted racist and Homeland Security adviser Stephen Miller is similar to how Nazis spoke of Jewish people.
Miller, who was the architect behind the Trump administration’s immigration policies, used such language last month in response to a Wall Street Journal op-ed urging Americans to refrain from demonizing all Afghan refugees, after one allegedly shot two National Guard members in Washington, D.C.
“This is the great lie of mass migration. You are not just importing individuals. You are importing societies,” Miller said on X. “No magic transformation occurs when failed states cross borders. At scale, migrants and their descendants recreate the conditions, and terrors, of their broken homelands.”
People have been saying that about Stephen Miller since before Trump’s first presidency.
It’s just as unsurprising as Elon Musk’s Nazi salutes on stage at a GOP convention.
The reason Musk accidentally makes Nazi salutes when he gets excited is that he’s a Nazi.
The reason Stephen Miller’s rhetoric is the same as Nazi rhetoric is that he’s a Nazi.
I’m not speaking metaphorically. I don’t mean “Neo Nazi”. I mean that Stephen Miller, like Elon Musk and Donald Trump, idolizes Nazi Germany, and in all likelihood, literally thinks of himself as a Nazi.
It’d be funny if we actually had a more combative media, and they could ask this overly vocal pipsqueak questions like: “You seem to adore Hitler and think of yourself as someone like him. Give what we now suspect about him, do you also have a micropenis?”
