Summary

CNN commentator Tara Setmayer sharply criticized Stephen Miller, calling him a “despicable” figure whose “own family has disowned him,” following news that he would serve as deputy chief of staff for policy in Donald Trump’s second administration.

Setmayer condemned Miller’s role in creating the family separation policy during Trump’s first term, describing him as “racist” and “xenophobic.”

She noted Miller likely couldn’t pass Senate confirmation, which is why Trump may rely on recess appointments.

Setmayer argued that voters who chose Trump also endorsed Miller’s influence and controversial policies.
