A series of anti-immigrant posts by Donald Trump adviser Stephen Miller over the holiday weekend got a swift dismissal by longtime conservative Charlie Sykes, who questioned the intelligence of the president’s resident “evil genius.”
On his Substack platform, Sykes noted the controversial Miller making broad-based attacks on immigrants, including writing what Sykes sarcastically characterized as a “Deep Thought.”
Miller wrote he watched a Christmas special with his family that featured Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin and commented, “Imagine watching that and thinking America needed infinity migrants from the third world.”
Critics have fired back at Miller and pointed out, “Enjoy your racism grift while it lasts. Dean Martin’s dad came here from Italy at a time when Italy was considered third-world. Both of Frank Sinatra’s parents came here from Italy.”
Sykes pointed out that Miller wasn’t done sneering.
“Someone should write an alternate historical novel where Americans are the first to master the automobile, the first in flight, the first to harness the atom, the first to land on the moon — but just keep going and never open our borders to the entire third world for sixty years,” Miller claimed — ignoring the substantial number of foreign scientists who made major contributions to the Manhattan Project.
That led Sykes to launch a broadside at Trump’s key adviser.
“My contrarian take: I hope Stephen Miller goes on tweeting, because it exposes not merely his rancid bigotry (which was known), but also his invincible ignorance, because it turns out that this twisted homunculus — the evil genius behind Trump’s mass deportations — is actually as dumb as a box of hair,” he wrote.
