● UNELECTED. UNACCOUNTABLE. UNPRECEDENTED.

The Most Powerful
Man You Didn't Elect

Stephen Miller has never won an election. He has no law degree. He holds no Senate-confirmed position. Yet multiple Republican insiders call him the "prime minister" of the United States — running daily governance while Trump serves as head of state. His favorability rating is 17%.

"Stephen, if you had it your way, everyone would look exactly like you."

"That's correct."

The Origin Story

The Radicalization of Stephen Miller

Born in 1985 in the affluent "North of Montana" neighborhood of Santa Monica, California. Raised in a liberal Jewish family. His great-grandmother fled anti-Jewish pogroms in Belarus. His grandfather arrived penniless through Ellis Island.

His third-grade teacher told the Hollywood Reporter that 8-year-old Stephen "would pour glue on his arm, let it dry, peel it off and then eat it. He was a strange dude."

At 14, after a family financial setback, he abruptly stopped talking to a close Latino friend — his first documented act of racial self-segregation. He began listening to conservative talk radio. By 16, he was appearing on The Larry Elder Show. By high school graduation, he had invited David Horowitz to campus and written that janitors should pick up his trash.

At Duke, he co-organized events with Richard Spencer — the man who would later coin "alt-right" and lead chants of "Hail Trump." He befriended Rabbi Ben Packer, a settler extremist who would take him on a guided tour of the occupied West Bank and declare him the savior of the Jewish people. He denied knowing Spencer. A 2007 email proves otherwise.

His own family has repudiated him. His uncle, Dr. David Glosser: "If my nephew's ideas on immigration had been in force a century ago, our family would have been wiped out." His cousin Alisa Kasmer: "I am living with the deep pain of watching someone I once loved become the face of evil."

His parents operate Cordary Inc., which manages ~2,500 apartment units in immigrant communities across greater Los Angeles — maintained by immigrant labor.
