Over 80 members of the House of Representatives have now called on White House senior adviser Stephen Miller to resign after leaked emails published this week showed his affinity for white nationalism.

HuffPost contacted the office of every House member and asked whether Miller should resign. All told, over 80 representatives, all Democrats, have said he should.

Hell yes, responded Rep. John Yarmuth (D-Ky.).

I feel pretty secure in my belief that flaming white nationalists should have no place in the White House, the halls of Congress or anywhere, for that matter, said Rep. Ted Lieu (D-Calif.).

A person with his hateful beliefs should not be making decisions at the highest levels of our government, said Mark Takano (D-Calif.). He should resign, and if he doesnt, he should be fired.

The widespread calls for Millers resignation echoed demands Thursday by leaders of the Black Congressional Progressive Caucus, Black Caucus, Hispanic Caucus, and the Asian Pacific American Caucus.

As documented by the Southern Poverty Law Center, Stephen Miller has embedded himself in white nationalist doctrine for years, including promoting racist propaganda from fringe sites like VDARE and InfoWars, the Democratic caucus leaders said in a joint statement calling for Millers resignation.

And as the chief architect of the Muslim Ban and cruel family separation policies, Stephen Miller has spent the last three years turning his bigotry into policy with President Trumps blessing.

He should resign, and if he doesnt, he should be fired.

- Rep. Mark Takano (D-Calif.)

On Tuesday, the civil rights advocacy organization Southern Poverty Law Center published the first of a series of bombshell reports analyzing 900 emails Miller sent to former Breitbart writer Katie McHugh in 2015 and 2016. They show Miller, working at the time for then-Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), attempting to shape Breitbarts political coverage, namely regarding stories related to race and immigration.

In some emails, Miller informed Breitbart of stories published by white supremacist website VDARE and racist conspiracy theory website InfoWars and then suggested how Breitbart might promote them.

In another email, Miller recommended that Breitbart write about the deeply racist 1970s French novel Camp of Saints , which depicts brown immigrants including Indians who eat feces descending upon Europe like a plague, killing people and raping women. The novel is a favorite among neo-Nazis and other assorted fascists.

In all 900 emails, SPLC reporter Michael Hayden noted he was unable to find any examples of Miller writing sympathetically or even in neutral tones about any person who is nonwhite or foreign-born.

Miller went on to work for President Donald Trump s 2016 campaign before being selected as a senior adviser in the White House, where hes often credited with crafting the administrations cruel immigration policies.

Stephen Miller, Trumps architect of mass human rights abuses at the border (including child separation & detention camps w/ child fatalities) has been exposed as a bonafide white nationalist, Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.) tweeted on Tuesday. Hes still at the White House shaping US immigration policy. Miller must resign. Now.

Each day we allow a white nationalist to be in charge of US immigration policy is a day where thousands of children & families lives are in danger, Ocasio-Cortez wrote in another tweet. This year alone, under Millers direction, the US has put almost 70,000 children in custody.

Rep. Ilhan Omar (D-Minn.) tweeted : As I said earlier this year: Stephen Miller is a white nationalist. And now we have the emails to prove it. This type of racism and hatred has no place in our government. Miller needs to step down. Now.
