Trump Considering Naming Stephen Miller as Communications Director

HeadlineAug 07, 2017

Multiple news outlets are reporting that the Trump administration is considering naming senior policy adviser Stephen Miller to be the next communications director. Stephen Miller is a well-known xenophobe and Islamophobe. He was the architect of Trump’s first Muslim travel ban, and he’s been praised by white nationalists, including Richard Spencer. If named, Miller would take over for former Communications Director Anthony Scaramucci, who was ousted after only five days on the job following an expletive-laced rant in which he threatened to kill leakers and called former Chief of Staff Reince Priebus “a paranoid schizophrenic, a paranoiac.”
