Illinois Gov. JB Pritzker (D) claimed on Thursday that White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller is enabling President Trump amid his crackdown on immigrants without legal status in the U.S.

“I do think he needs help,” Pritzker said of Trump to Tim Miller, the host of “The Bulwark” podcast. “And I don’t think anybody around him on a day-to-day basis wants to get him any help because they have more power based upon his diminished capacity.”

Pritzker then brought up Miller, whom he said “clearly is the one pushing the tactics at [Department of Homeland Security], at [Customs and Border Protection], at [Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE)].”

“He’s clearly the person that is aiming to have Donald Trump become an authoritarian leader,” Pritzker continued. “And I wish that, you know, people could at least recognize that Stephen Miller is bad for the country, and he is abusing the fact that Donald Trump has diminished capacity.”

I truly think this is true. I thought that during trump's first term when he had covid. Miller is a power hungry vampire.

[–] alquicksilver@lemmy.world 19 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Vampires have culture. Miller can't compare. I'd call him a parasite, but that still somehow has too much humanity.

Parasites have no will to be evil, they just want to live.

[–] protist@lemmy.world 30 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Stephen Miller is a psychopath

[–] Treczoks@lemmy.world 8 points 1 week ago

They all are.

I get more and more impressed with Gov. Pritzker each day with how he is handling things. Coming out and saying this in every interview is another good move.

trump's troops invading Chicago only gets Pritzker more media attention he's making full use of it to help counteract the regime's propaganda.

Trump may be sunsetting, but he's always been a narcissistic racist. No abuse here

[–] Serinus@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

Sure, but I don't really give a shit about some minor whitewashing of Trump if it helps put a stop to actual suffering.

He's always been too dumb to do most of this shit anyway. I guarantee the pump and dumps aren't his original idea, whether he's in on it or not.

[–] W3dd1e@lemmy.zip 13 points 1 week ago

This. I don’t think Trump has any idea what is actually going on. I think he literally signs whatever they put in front of him and doesn’t know what it is until he is later asked by a reporter.

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 10 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Hell Miller's not even hiding at this point is he?

[–] dan1101@lemmy.world 9 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It is like Dick Cheney and George W Bush again.

[–] protist@lemmy.world 13 points 1 week ago

And yet somehow worse

Hahahaha orangeboi has diminished capacity

It’d be fucking hilarious if wish.com Goebbels gets fired for saying that

[–] taiyang@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago

This is the worst Weekend At Bernie's sequel, and that includes the weird, racist voodoo one.

[–] sdcSpade@lemmy.zip 4 points 1 week ago

President Miller is abusing his First Lady.

[–] crystalmerchant@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Why is he deputy Chief of staff? Who is the chief of staff above him?
