    Leaked Emails Fuel Calls For Stephen Miller To Leave White House – By Joel Rose (NPR) / Nov 26 2019

    For almost three decades, Jared Taylor has been publishing his ideas about race at the American Renaissance magazine and now at a website called AmRen, which is considered a mouthpiece for white supremacist ideology.

    “The races are not identical and equivalent,” says Taylor, who calls himself a “race realist” and rejects the white supremacist label. “There are patterns of difference. But this is now something that’s considered a huge, hateful taboo in the United States.”

    The website is not well-known outside white nationalist circles — but it found an audience in White House adviser Stephen Miller.

    Miller has recommended articles on AmRen and another white nationalist site called VDARE. We know this because the Southern Poverty Law Center has uncovered hundreds of emails that Miller wrote to a reporter at Breitbart News before he worked in the White House.

    Civil rights activists and more than 100 members of Congress — all Democrats — have called for Miller’s resignation since the publication of the emails. But the White House is standing behind him. And Republicans have been largely silent. Critics say that this suggests the line of what’s acceptable in public discourse has shifted.
