17 Jewish organizations send open letter demanding Stephen Millers dismissal

"SNIP...........

Last week, 17 Jewish organizations penned an open letter and sent it to the White House calling for the dismissal of the far-right Senior Policy Advisor Stephen Miller. The letter claims Miller is guilty of “extreme viewpoints and advocacy of racist policies.” The protest was led by the National Council of Jewish Women. Here are excerpts:

As Jews, we are in solidarity with immigrants and refugees and believe that our nation must be a refuge and welcoming home for new Americans,” they wrote. Miller “has been an obstacle to passing widely-supported, bipartisan, popular, badly-needed immigration policy changes throughout his time in the administration.”

The coauthors call Miller the “architect” of two executive measures that limit admission into the United States for immigrants from countries including Iran, Libya, Syria, Yemen and Venezuelia. The letter also states:

“Stephen Miller opposes the beliefs we hold dear, and while he advises President Trump there will be no forward movement on immigration — to the detriment of this great nation founded by immigrants. We urge you to remove Miller from your team and the White House as soon as possible.”

someone drives a wooden stake through his heart. Or is that method for zombies and werewolves, not vampires?

Jewish remark from Virginia GOP committeeman prompts rebuke

FAIRFAX, Va. — Republican leaders in Virginia are seeking the resignation of a member of the party’s state central committee after he suggested he would not vote for a Jewish candidate.

Virginia GOP Chairman John Whitbeck said committee member Fredy Burgos should resign, and he told The Washington Post on Monday that efforts are underway to remove him if he won’t.

In a Facebook post, Burgos posted a quote from John Jay, the first chief justice of the Supreme Court, that calls on Christians ‘‘to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.’’ Burgos states that ‘‘having preference for Christians over non-Christians as political leaders is not bigoted.’’

Burgos was supporting a candidate for a Fairfax County party post who is running against a Jewish candidate.

He is mostly under the radar but is instrumental in sowing discord and division. How such an entitled twerp got the job could only happen in this administration.
