Thom Tillis, who called for the resignation or firing of DHS secretary Kristi Noem, says White House adviser ‘should go’

Republican Senator Thom Tillis said on Sunday he believes White House adviser Stephen Miller “should go” and that his role in the Trump administration has been a “big problem”.

The senior senator representing North Carolina, when asked on CNN’s State of the Union if he thinks Miller should go, during a conversation about the administration’s immigration crackdown, responded to host Jake Tapper stating “Oh, of course I do.”

“He is not worried about substance. He’s more worried about form, but I also think that he has an outsized influence over the operations of the cabinet. And I believe we’ve got qualified cabinet members there that sometimes are doing less than what they want to, because of his direction and his outsized influence. He’s a big problem in this administration. He has been from the beginning,” said Tillis.

    This is the real ghoul pulling the strings. He’s not the Whitehouse’s problem, he’s their solution. A final solution one might say.

      It’s just clown on clown violence. Different factions within TrumpWorld undermining one another.

      If you think David Navarro and Scott Bessent aren’t getting their own licks in, you haven’t been paying attention.

      Trump’s cabinet is Oops! All Scheming Vizers! Miller is just one of many and they generally all hate each other.

      The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi.
      Punching is also acceptable if the prior condition cannot be met.

          1 Buy knuckledusters.
          2 Start punching him at his toes first and move up.

          At some point he’ll stop moving.

      He is in power because millions of Americans believe in his racial policies. Miller is not some kind of mind control expert, he is a symptom of the American white trash problem.

      Germany in the 30s was not 4 guys, it’s was millions of enthusiastic Germans.

    “Republican Senator elected in the Before Times, complains that this administration isn’t keeping its evil deeds quiet enough and people like Stephen Miller are embarrassing the members of Senate who want to be re-elected someday so they can keep getting the massive donations, so Thom Tillis wanted to get it on the record that he doesn’t approve of Miller as he eyed the midterms warily.”

    There, fixed the story.

    He’s a human race problem.

    It’s bad that he is in the admin — and should go. If he wasn’t, though, he is still a problem.

    PeeWee Himmler is Trump’s closest advisor, and he’s behind the worst ideas coming out of MAGA, yet most Americans have never heard of him.

    He is one of the most repellent humans on the planet, and to know him is to immediately be disgusted by him. If the Dems were smart, which they are not, they would make him front and center in the Midterm Campaign. Trump’s support is cemented and solid, but PeeWee Himmler is ripe for attack. Even MAGAs will be repulsed by him.

    Make Peewee Himmler the face and heart of MAGA, and voters will crush them.

      I’ll never forget during the first year or so of Trump’s first presidency there was a document leak. It was the child separation powers for the border patrol and it had Stephen Miller’s annotations on it. You can go see where he notes that the US should use child separation to punish immigrants. True evil brought to you by the “we care about the children” crowd.

    What are the chances of this line of thinking catching on with the other republican fuck nuts? I’d normally say zero, but with Noem getting “transferred” and Tillis and Kennedy humiliating her with their questions (she may not feel the humiliation but she should), I’ll give it a 1% chance.

    Has anyone been arrested and held in custody pending trial? Then their plan is still working to their ends.
