Stephen Miller Emails Show How White Nationalism Is Moving Into The Mainstream

White House adviser Stephen Miller faces growing calls to resign after leaked emails show he promoted the ideas of white nationalists. Critics say this is how fringe ideas move into the mainstream.

For almost three decades, Jared Taylor has been publishing his ideas about race at the American Renaissance magazine and now at a website called AmRen, which is considered a mouthpiece for white supremacist ideology.

"The races are not identical and equivalent," says Taylor, who calls himself a "race realist" and rejects the white supremacist label. "There are patterns of difference. But this is now something that's considered a huge, hateful taboo in the United States."

The website is not well-known outside of white nationalist circles — but it found an audience in White House adviser Stephen Miller.

Miller has recommended articles that Miller wrote to a reporter at Breitbart News before he worked in the White House.
