Donald Trump’s administration was stuffed full to the brim of the most heinous of heinous individuals they could pluck up — there’s just no denying that. They had to be corrupt and foul to be willing to work with such a corrupt and foul man.
However, according to a new report, even Trump’s nasty jockeys couldn’t get behind the likes of Stephen Miller — as a new report from CNN claims Trump officials were left “stunned” by the ex-president’s former senior advisor and speechwriter when Miller subjected them to a racist, bigoted outburst regarding refugees from Afghanistan.
Anonymous former officials from the Trump administration told CNN that Miller was loudly and vehemently against the United States accepting any Afghan refugees if the US military did end up withdrawing from the Middle Eastern country — a plan that Trump himself peddled while in office.
Even when the discussion turned to bringing in those from Afghanistan who had worked side-by-side with the United States Armed Forces during our decades-long war in the country, Miller still showed not a single shred of compassion, continuing to act disgusted and incredulous.

“What do you guys want?” he rhetorically fumed, per the report from CNN after speaking with sources. “A bunch of Iraqs and ‘Stans across the country?”
CNN notes the significance of this outburst, as Miller himself would go on to spearhead efforts to sabotage the refugee application process and slow-walk the entry of any and all Afghan refugees — including Afghan allies who fought beside us. This ultimately resulted in thousands of Afghans being stranded in the chaos-stricken country after the US military withdrawal.
“While Afghans are thoroughly vetted before working alongside US forces, they still go through a meticulous process riddled with checks before obtaining a visa to come to the US, making them among the most vetted immigrants to arrive in the US,” CNN writes. “Former officials said they tried to relay that to the Trump administration but found themselves shut out and starved of resources. Staff-level meetings at the White House about refugees became smaller, with critics of Miller’s approach kept in the dark.”
