So many lines have been crossed by Democrats and their supportive media, I’m not sure there are any lines left.
Stephen Miller, advisor to Trump, is hated by Democrats and other leftists because of his role helping elect Trump and Miller’s strong positions on immigration.
Miller’s condo building has been the subject of protests.
The New York Times investigated Miller’s high school and college years:
Mr. Miller’s journey to this point, outlined over dozens of interviews with friends, classmates and current and former colleagues, is a triumph of unbending convictions and at least occasional contrivance. It is a story of beliefs that congealed early in a home that he helped nudge to the right of its blue-state ZIP code, and of an ideology that became an identity for a spindly agitator at a large and racially divided public high school.
These formative years supplied the template for the life Mr. Miller has carved out for himself in Washington, where he remains the hard-line jouster many of Mr. Trump’s most zealous supporters trust most in the White House — and many former peers fear.
In June 2018, Politico even ran a piece from one of Miller’s 3rd grade classmates, I Sat on the Other Side of Stephen Miller’s First Wall:
It was difficult to make Stephen laugh. I found him difficult to reach at all, and so, it seemed, did most everyone else. He was frequently distracted, vacillating between total disinterest in everything around him—my stories, of course, included—and complete obsession with highly specific tasks that could only be performed alone.
He especially was obsessed with tape and glue. Along the midpoint of our desk, Stephen laid down a piece of white masking tape, explaining that it marked the boundary of our sides and that I was not to cross it. The formality of this struck me as odd. I was a fairly neat kid, at least at school, and I had never spread my things to his side of the desk. Stephen, meanwhile, could not have been much messier: His side of the desk was sticky and peeling, littered with scraps of paper, misshapen erasers and pencil nubs.
Now The Hollywood Reporter has jumped on the bandwagon, running a column by Miller’s 3rd grade teacher Nikki Fiske badmouthing Miller’s 3rd grade conduct, focusing on glue again, Stephen Miller’s Third-Grade Teacher: He Was a “Loner” and Ate Glue:
In 1993, Donald Trump’s senior political adviser attended Santa Monica’s Franklin Elementary, where he was “off by himself all the time.”
I can still picture him sitting in my classroom.
Do you remember that character in Peanuts, the one called Pig Pen, with the dust cloud and crumbs flying all around him? That was Stephen Miller at 8. I was always trying to get him to clean up his desk — he always had stuff mashed up in there. He was a strange dude. I remember he would take a bottle of glue — we didn’t have glue sticks in those days — and he would pour the glue on his arm, let it dry, peel it off and then eat it.
I remember being concerned about him — not academically. He was OK with that, though I could never read his handwriting. But he had such strange personal habits. He was a loner and isolated and off by himself all the time.
At the end of the year, I wrote all my concerns — and I had a lot of them — in his school record. When the school principal had a conference with Stephen’s parents, the parents were horrified. So the principal took some white-out and blanked out all my comments. I wish I could remember what I wrote, but this was 25 years ago. I’ve taught a lot of third-graders since then….
This third grade story has been boosted by a HuffPo article about it, in which HuffPo noted that this was just the latest in a string of people Miller knew earlier in life who have turned on him:
Last month, Miller’s former rabbi, Rabbi Neil Comess-Daniels, condemned the “zero-tolerance” immigration policy Miller helped to craft, saying it was “completely antithetical to everything I know about Judaism, Jewish law and Jewish values.”
In August, Miller’s uncle, retired neuropsychologist David S. Glosser, said his nephew “has become the architect of immigration policies that repudiate the very foundation of our family’s life in this country.”
His uncle told HuffPost that Miller likely views certain ethnicities as “unworthy or inherently unsuited to life” in America.
There’s a reason the reporting is focused on eating glue. It’s meant to dehumanize Miller, to suggest he is brain damaged.
It was bad enough when Democrats and the media went after Brett Kavanaugh’s high school yearbook and behavior. Given time, no doubt the media and Spartacus would have come around to examining Kavanaugh’s early childhood years. Even though he’s on the Supreme Court now, it still may happen.
We are dealing with a sick media, one which thinks it’s appropriate to explore not just college behavior, but 3rd grade behavior. They are turning this country into a nation of rats and snitches. Even your early childhood is not your own.
RABBI IS A POS!!!!
The Soviets labeled dissenters as mentally ill before they shipped them off to the gulags.
Obviously they weren’t feeding him enough.
On the other hand, it must have given him perseverance and persistence, a strong tendency to adhere to principle and take hold of things. I imagine he’s as loyal to his friends as he is to his convictions.
Well, if he was obsessed with glue and tape, then I would call him a uniter, rather than a divider. Wouldn’t that make sense?
So many leftists and phonies exposed, If I'm Steven Miller I'm laughing my ass off - this is the best you've got, paste in 3rd grade?
She’s under investigation. I doubt that the rabbi will get in any trouble.
And to think we were kidding when we said “what’s next? A political opponent pulled a girls pigtails?”
Targeting someone’s high school yearbook was bad enough.
Now 3rd grade?
And the three slanderers just happened to write about it at the same time, without any prompting or recruitment. Remember in November. Thanks 2ndDivisionVet.
Post of the day!!!!
I predict that there will be a deep dive into the sales records of the TWISTER GAME to find who were the purchasers. Imagine a Senate Confirmation, did YOU, at any time, ‘rub against the body’ of ANYONE unrelated by marriage vows, in your lifetime?
LIAR!! - your family bought the game TWISTER when you were 8yo and you are thus a PROVEN LIAR!
Such is the disease of the Democrat hypothesis, that propinquity is proof of action.
You are postulating logic, that is NOT the Democrat MO! They are the appeal to emotion!
When is the DNC going to ask about potty training.
One of the perks of advanced age is all your elementary, high school and college teachers have likely passed or could not pick you out of a school picture without the caption and your former classmates have trouble remembering what they ate for lunch.
I’m so glad I’m not in public life! I’d really hate for people to learn that I might have eaten paste in first grade, that I sometimes colored outside the lines, and that I once wiped my nose on my sleeve!
I think it’s ridiculous. What next, someone is unfit for government service because of wetting his or her pants in elementary school?
I’m not saying that there might not be behaviors that could be of concern, but I wouldn’t put eating glue, being a loner, or keeping a messy desk into the category of alarming.
At least his mother didn’t dress him funny like most of those kids in his class.
Considering the way kids treat each other in school, even when I went, can't say as I blame him for keeping his distance.
The behavior of this liberal media is very disturbing.
Moreover, who remembers details about people from third grade? These people have got to be lying.
Wonder if they used the Facebook breach in order to find such lifelong information or if the crazies are accessing things like background checks.
