Democratic Sen. Sherrod Brown said Sunday that White House staffer Stephen Miller “seems to be” a white supremacist.

CNN host Dana Bash asked Brown, “There has been a major back and forth this week between the White House and Democratic Congresswoman Frederica Wilson. It all stems from her interpretation of the president’s call to the widow of a fallen soldier. Now, the congresswoman told The New York Times this week that the White House is full of white supremacists. You were at the White House this week. Do you agree with her?”
The Ohio senator said, “I agree that Steve Bannon is a white supremacist and Stephen Miller seems to be. And I know that studies have shown that they have their allies sprinkled around the White House.”
Miller is a senior policy advisor in the White House and is credited with shaping how the administration deals with refugee admission. He was also believed to be a prominent shaper of the Trump “travel ban,” enacted via executive order in January and stuck in federal courts ever since.
