In high school, Stephen Miller was trying to "triggering the good-looking kids," according to a new report Sunday.
RollingStone reported over the weekend that Miller was being "gossiped" about behind his back even in Trump's White House.
As part of the broader report diving into Miller's background and role at the White House, the outlet interviewed an individual who went to school with the man who is now the deputy chief of staff for policy for Trump's second term in the Oval Office.
"As a teenager in Santa Monica, California, Miller craved nothing more than triggering the good-looking kids in school who wanted nothing to do with him," the report states before introducing Jason Islas, who first met Miller at Lincoln Middle School in Santa Monica, and "says he and Miller and a third friend were a tight-knit band of outsiders who spent middle school doing preteen-boy stuff, like talking about Star Trek (Islas remembers Miller as a big Captain Kirk fan)."
The report continues:
"That all changed, though, in the summer of 1999, between eighth and ninth grades, when, Islas says, Miller informed him they couldn’t be friends anymore. 'One of the things he did say was that he didn’t like the fact that I’m of Latin heritage,' Islas recalls."
