Stephen Miller's grandparents were asylum seekers.

They fled anti-Jewish persecution in Belarus, where armed guards rode through the streets looking to kill Jews. They arrived in New York with $8 in their pockets and zero legal immigration papers.

I'm no psychologist, but there's likely some kind of residual psychological trauma that got passed down that he's acting out....

His whole family hates him. It is sort of like how RFK jr's family feels about him...embarrassment and disdain.

The video contains fragments of a brief 90 second speech by Miller during his junior year at Santa Monica High School in California in the spring of 2002, including a controversial reference to the job of janitors.

It was made for an audio-visual production class by four of Miller's school mates. At the time of the speech, Miller was running for a student government post and was such a polemic figure he was chosen as the protagonist for the video.

"Hi, I’m Stephen Miller, some of you may or may not know who I am," Miller says, smiling. “We’re not talking about that right now. I’m the only candidate up here who stands out. I would say and I would do things that no one else in their right mind would say or do. Am I the only one who is sick and tired of being told to pick up our trash when we have plenty of janitors who are paid to do it for us?”
