Stephen Miller’s Hypocrisy Is Right There in His Speech
Miller’s view, like that of his boss, is that America is even more divided than we think, and the only resolution to this state of affairs is for one side to subjugate the other.
I’m not looking forward to Erika Kirk’s continuation of her husband’s regrettable legacy, but I’ll give her credit for doing something evangelical Christians on the national stage so rarely do: what Jesus would do. Just days after the horrific murder of the father of her children, she stood in front of a stadium filled with supporters, many of whom were likely out for blood, and forgave the murderer. The president replied shortly after on that same stage with a rather generous interpretation of Charlie Kirk’s rhetoric, saying, “He did not hate his opponents. He wanted the best for them,” Then, in one of his trademark digressions, “That’s where I disagreed with Charlie. I hate my opponent, and I don’t want the best for them.” And somehow Stephen Miller, with all the eloquence of a skinhead brandishing a broken bottle, managed to state that hatred in even starker terms.
