Stephen Miller’s 2006 Duke Lacrosse defense goes viral ahead of key Trump appointment: Watch
Times of India ^ | December 15, 2024

Stephen Miller, a familiar name in conservative circles, is poised to take on one of the most powerful roles in the Trump White House. The President-elect is expected to appoint Miller as his deputy chief of staff for policy, a move confirmed by Vice President-elect JD Vance on social media. The decision, while not yet publicly confirmed by Trump’s team, follows growing speculation and a viral resurgence of Miller’s past, igniting a flurry of reactions across social media.

Miller, who at the age of 31 once held a coveted office in the West Wing and gained the President's ear, has long been a figure defined by his hard-right stance on policy, particularly immigration. However, it’s his early advocacy that continues to capture attention, sparking a heated debate about his political philosophy.

A hero or a villain? Social media reacts

A resurfaced video highlighting Miller’s role in defending the Duke lacrosse players in 2006 has gone viral, fueling a mix of admiration and criticism. At the time, Miller, then a college junior, was the only student willing to go on national television to speak out in favor of the accused players. His stance earned him national media exposure and a reputation as a fearless defender of what he saw as the truth. Some social media users have lauded Miller’s consistency and courage, calling him a "hero in our movement" and praising his unflinching commitment to conservative values. "You have to admire a guy who is willing to fearlessly stick his neck out for other people to bring the truth to the surface," one user wrote. Others expressed their confidence in Miller's leadership, with one user stating, "I’m grateful he is on team Trump. We need more Stephen Millers in this world."

“His stance earned him national media exposure and a reputation as a fearless defender of what he saw as the truth.”

I guess I would note that Miller’s take on Duke LAX was not simply “what he saw as the truth.” Rather, it *was* the truth, as even the crazy stripper now admits.

Megyn Kelly’s recent podcast was an account of one of her early assignments covering the Duke lacrosse playersincident. In it she said that, of the many leftist media outlets who covered the incident relentlessly , always attacking the players and defending the accuser, only the New York Times, which wrote a tiny article, has mentioned Crystal Mangum’s recent apology and admission that she made the whole thing up.

The statute of limitations has run out for perjury. If Nifong had had his way, those three young men would still be in prison for gang rape. Would the statute of limitations still have to run out on the false accusations?

Evidently the fact that he was right counts against him.

“At the time, Miller, then a college junior, was the only student willing to go on national television to speak out in favor of the accused (Duke Lacrosse) players.”

INCREDIBLE - the guy put his ENTIRE FUTURE on the line in doing this as he could have easily been expelled from the school and essentially Blacklisted from attending any other university, at least in the US.

I hope Stephen Miller‘s primary duty will be to run interference for Tom Homan. Miller is a very valuable fellow to have on the team. He could help ramrod the deportation.
