Stephen Miller Under Fire Following DOJ Disability Memo and Lying Outburst Over Primary Results

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is at the center of a dual political firestorm over the last 24 hours, following reports of his influence on a controversial Department of Justice (DOJ) memo and a high-profile media-lying meltdown over recent Democratic primary results.

According to an exclusive report from Bloomberg Law, Miller was a "driving force" behind a DOJ Office of Legal Counsel opinion issued last Thursday. The memo suggests that states have the authority to institutionalize people with disabilities, potentially bypassing decades of Supreme Court precedent that prioritizes funding for home and community-based care. 

While the White House and Justice Department have denied the report, critics argue the shift threatens the long-standing legal protections that shield individuals from forced institutionalization.

The report comes amid further scrutiny of Miller’s influence on federal investigations. The Justice Department confirmed to HuffPost on Tuesday that a letter sent to Miller by several far-right groups was used by the FBI in an initial fraud investigation into the Southern Poverty Law Center (SPLC). 

However, the DOJ denied that Miller personally directed the FBI to launch the probe.

Meanwhile, Miller took to Fox News on Tuesday night to vent his frustrations after several democratic socialist candidates prevailed in New York’s primary elections. In a heated interview with Sean Hannity, Miller claimed the results signal the end of the "center-left Democrat Party."

"Over time, the Democrat party has abandoned all of that," Miller told Hannity. "They have instead adopted this radical, revolutionary, and in many cases, violent ideology that wants to tear America down and destroy everything that we know and love, from top to bottom."

Miller is no fool in trying to portray the center-left Democratic socialists as a radical Marxist group, because he is attempting to fish votes from the independent pool, as he is aware that Trump has the lowest ratings among the Independents. 

His claims about the 'good old' Democratic Party are a lie. He knows the party was a tool for donors for years, which is exactly why it lost to Trump twice. Miller is terrified of the Democratic Socialist wave currently building momentum against him and his billionaire backers—and he should be, considering how many of these candidates are beating establishment Democrats. He’s lucky Bernie Sanders passed the torch to Mamdani and Ocasio-Cortez; if Bernie were younger, Miller would already be planning a move to Argentina to join his fellow 'Nazis' in retirement. His disgusting rhetoric is just the work of a desperate man bending reality to protect his boss. Too bad for him, November is right around the corner."
