The emails appeared to show support for white nationalist groups.
‘Miller frequently disseminated the views of multiple hate groups supportive of white supremacy and other vile ideologies throughout 2016,’ the lawmakers letter states.
‘His distribution of materials fear-mongering about “white genocide” and supporting eugenics-based immigration theories are particularly disturbing given his leadership of your Administration’s immigration policies.’
The politicians declared that there should be no people on the President’s staff or in government who propagate ‘anti-Semitism, xenophobia, racism and white supremacy.’
The group – which includes Reps. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-FL), Adam Schiff (D-CA) and Jerrold Nadler (D-NY) – also condemned the Trump administration for ‘claiming that legitimate criticism of Miller is anti-Semitic simply because Miller is Jewish.’
‘Nothing could be further from the truth,’ the group asserted.

Several civil rights groups and other politicians have pressured Trump to release Miller from his duties
They continued: ‘Hateful ideology is not just unacceptable, it is un-American, irrespective of the faith, race, or nationality of the individual promoting it.
‘Weaponing anti-Semitism is incredibly dangerous – by muddying the waters, we are no longer able to see and fight the real anti-Semites in our midst.’
Concluding their message, the representatives shared that they would not ‘accept intolerance or hate anywhere within our government, and especially not in the White House.’
Several civil rights groups and other politicians have called for Miller to be released from his duties as well.
