Overview
- Jennifer Welch, co-host of the 'I’ve Had It' podcast, called White House policy aide Stephen Miller a white supremacist and “a Nazi Jew” during a CNN appearance.
- CNN’s Abby Phillip responded that she “can’t speak to what Stephen Miller’s motivations are,” offering limited pushback to the claim.
- A White House spokeswoman denounced the remark as a “braindead take” and said Welch was “spewing hateful comments” that could incite violence.
- Coverage noted recurring use of Nazi analogies by some commentators when describing Trump and his allies, a practice critics say inflames political discourse.
- Recent context cited includes activists chalking messages outside Miller’s Arlington home before he listed it for sale and his Oct. 6 CNN exchange dismissing a racial profiling question.
