Fox News host presses WH adviser Stephen Miller on 'send her back' chant at Trump rally
White House adviser Stephen Miller in an interview with Fox News host Chris Wallace Sunday defended President Trump’s attacks against four Democratic lawmakers of color that were condemned as racist by Democrats and civil rights groups.
The Squad hit back at the president, who has consistently been called out as racist by Democrats, and accused him of “stoking white nationalism.” “And can you also say ‘go back’ where you came from?” Wallace interjected, referring to a campaign rally at which Trump attacked each congresswoman and rallygoers chanted “Send her back!” in reference to Somali-born Rep. Ilhan Omar.
Story continues“He said nothing there or in his tweet after the rally that indicated any concern about the chant.” “As an American Jew,” Miller said, “I am profoundly outraged by the comments of Ocasio-Cortez. It is a historical smear. It is a sinful comment. ... And those are the comments, Chris, that we need to be focusing on.”
“The core element of the president’s philosophy is ‘America first,’” Miller responded. “Saying that America needs to improve to get closer to an America first ideal as the president did as a candidate, criticizing Obama, criticizing our trade deals, our foreign policy deals, our immigration policies, is out of love for America.”
