  • I just do not understand how Steven Miller became… well, Steven Miller. His mother grew up with Left Wing parents, but apparently Miller’s parents have gone pretty Far Right after Trump took office the first time.

    At least some members of the Miller family aren’t vile monsters, as his own uncle wrote this about him.

    “I have a huge family,” David Glosser said during an appearance on CNN on Tuesday. “I wouldn’t offer to speak for my entire family, but dozens of family members encouraged me to push forward with this.”

    Glosser said he also didn’t expect to change Miller’s stance on immigration following the release of his fiery editorial on Monday.

    “It appears he made his entire political and personal career on this single issue for reasons that I don’t really know,” he said.

    “The reason I wrote it now is because the administration has had an increasingly hostile posture towards desperate people trying to get into the country,” Glosser said, adding that he had already been posting his opinions on the country’s immigration policies for the “past year or two.” {mosads} “But various members of the family, as well as myself, thought I could no longer remain … [a] quiet voice on the subject in light of the incarceration of all these children,” Glosser continued, calling the Trump administration’s controversial immigration policies implemented in the past several months an “inexcusable cruelty.”

    Though Glosser said he hasn’t had much communication with Miller in the past 10 years he said writing the critical editorial of his nephew was difficult.

    “I write this more in sadness than in anger,” adding that he has not been interested in “public notoriety.”

    “But, as I say, I felt it was incumbent upon me to raise my voice to let people know that this is a country of immigrants. Our family were immigrants, in fact they we were refugees,” Glosser said. “If my ancestors had not immigrated to the United States when they did, if they waited a few more years until 1924, the door would’ve been shut.”
