"A man who uses his position of immense power to crush political opposition, crush free speech, and crush American freedom. And, as Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez put it, a short, clownish insecure troll. When it comes to the angry men of MAGA, Ocasio-Cortez had this advice for her audience on Instagram Live: "Laugh at them! Stephen Miller is a clown! I've never seen that guy in real life, but he looks like he's, like, 4′10″.""
"Few people in American politics are as deserving of condemnation and mockery as Miller. He was the impetus behind Donald Trump's family-separation policy. He has been pushing the outrageous claim that left-leaning groups are "domestic terrorist organizations," a lie ( domestic terrorist organization also is not a legitimate legal designation) that seems to be a pretext for bringing the full force of the federal government down on Trump's political opponents."
Stephen Miller is described as a protofascist and an angry bigot who detests immigrants and wields immense power to suppress opposition and free speech. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez encouraged mocking Miller and other insecure MAGA men as a tactic to undermine toxic, insecure masculinity. Miller designed the family-separation policy and has pushed the false claim that left-leaning groups are "domestic terrorist organizations," a mischaracterization presented as a pretext for federal repression. Miller's politics are portrayed as authoritarian, dangerous, and influential over the president, rooted in fear of immigrants and liberals.
