Trump Considering Naming Stephen Miller as Communications Director
------------------------------------------------------------------

Multiple news outlets are reporting that the Trump administration is
considering naming senior policy adviser Stephen Miller to be the next
communications director. Stephen Miller is a well-known xenophobe and
Islamophobe. He was the architect of Trump's first Muslim travel ban,
and he's been praised by white nationalists, including Richard Spencer.
If named, Miller would take over for former Communications Director
Anthony Scaramucci, who was ousted after only five days on the job
following an expletive-laced rant in which he threatened to kill leakers
and called former Chief of Staff Reince Priebus "a paranoid
schizophrenic, a paranoiac."
