This scrutiny intensified following the release of a series of emails he sent between 2015 and 2016, which were obtained and published by the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC).Promotion of White Nationalist Literature and IdeologiesIn these emails, Miller recommended that Breitbart News cover The Camp of the Saints, a 1973 French novel widely regarded as racist and xenophobic. The book depicts a dystopian scenario where mass immigration leads to the collapse of Western civilization, a narrative that has been embraced by white nationalist groups. Miller’s endorsement of this novel suggests an alignment with its themes, which are central to white nationalist ideology. Engagement with White Supremacist PlatformsMiller’s emails also show that he frequently shared content from white nationalist websites such as VDARE and American Renaissance. These platforms are known for promoting racist ideologies and pseudoscientific claims about the supposed inferiority of nonwhite people. By directing Breitbart editors to these sources, Miller played a role in amplifying white supremacist narratives in mainstream media. Advocacy for Racially Restrictive Immigration PoliciesMiller expressed admiration for the Immigration Act of 1924, legislation that established strict racial quotas favoring Northern and Western European immigrants while severely limiting others. This act has been praised by white nationalists for preserving a “white America.” Miller’s support for such policies indicates a preference for immigration restrictions based on race and ethnicity. Associations with Known White NationalistsDuring his time at Duke University, Miller collaborated with Richard Spencer, a prominent white nationalist, to organize events featuring speakers like Peter Brimelow, founder of the white nationalist site VDARE. While Miller has denied ongoing associations with Spencer, their documented collaboration during college raises concerns about his early engagement with white nationalist figures. Political and Public RepercussionsThe revelations from Miller’s emails led to widespread condemnation from political figures and civil rights organizations. Democratic lawmakers, including Senators Kamala Harris, Bernie Sanders, and Elizabeth Warren, called for his resignation, citing his promotion of white nationalist ideologies as incompatible with public service. These findings have fueled ongoing debates about the influence of white nationalist ideologies within U.S. immigration policy and the broader political landscape.I’ve got sources as well. This was from a quick search. I just got home from a 10.5 hour.</blockquote>
