This attack is totally on the shooter, but Trump is 100% responsible for unnecessarily putting military personnel in harm’s way. Both victims should have been home in West Virginia enjoying thanksgiving with their families.

This is fundamentally Nazism. The idea that different peoples than the favored races carry degradation in their very genes, that they cannot strive to become better because biology compels them to be worse. It’s not just repugnant, it’s a bald faced lie.
Stephen Miller is now arguing that assimilation is fundamentally impossible and that certain cultures are not compatible with Western civilization

Black Friday is my favorite day of the year. We hosted family and friends for dinner yesterday, so today the house is clean (we did the dishes last night), and there are plenty of leftovers. Nothing to do all day but lie around and read novels.
Enjoy your day!

This is almost word for word what xenophobes in the 1930s and 1940s said about Miller's Jewish ancestors and relatives. He's so hateful he couldn't possibly recognize that of course.

Stephen Miller is doing raw, open white supremacy. The logics of Andrew Jackson and Adolph Hitler and every Jim Crow lynch mob.
And also, even the Wall Street Journal opinion page thinks the racism has gone too far, which is really saying a lot about exactly how extreme it is 🙃
