Old Clip Of Stephen Miller Praising Torture Resurfaces Amid Aggressive Immigration Enforcement
HuffPost
“Torture is a celebration of life and human dignity,” Miller argued in high school.
A video of White House deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller praising torture in 2003 is resurfacing once again amid public backlash over President Donald Trump’s aggressive immigration policies.
The video, posted by VICE in 2017, captured a high school age Miller sitting on a school bus with a mic in hand arguing for the use of torture during the Iraq war.
“To the issue of the Iraqi civilians. I think that as many of them should survive as possible, because the goal of any military conflict is to kill as few people as possible,” Miller argued. “But as for Saddam Hussein and his henchmen, I think the ideal solution would be to cut off their fingers.”
“I don’t think it’s necessary to kill them entirely, we’re not barbaric people, we respect life.” Miller continued. “Therefore, torture is the way to go.”
The now-White House immigration policy adviser said back then “tortured people can live” and “torture is a celebration of life and human dignity.”
