- Republican Rep. Marlin Stutzman of Indiana called the promotion a “mistake” and said Miller should have been fired, while Sen. Bernie Sanders said he was “not worried.”

Hakeem JeffriesAmerican politician (born 1970) called Miller a “stone-cold racist” and said he has no interest in working with him once Democrats take control of Congress in January.
How the left told it
Left-leaning outlets largely framed Miller’s promotion as doubling down on hardline immigration policies after voters rejected Republicans. The Guardian highlighted Democrats’ accusations that Trump was not listening to voters; MS NOW described a more confrontational course, while HuffPost highlighted Republican Rep. Marlin Stutzman’s view that Miller should have been fired.
How the right told it
Right-leaning outlets emphasized Miller’s loyalty and Democratic opposition, with some openly defending him. Fox News called the backlash “The stoning of Stephen Miller,” and The Blaze praised him as a “MAGA asset.” Breitbart and the Daily Caller focused on Jeffries’ refusal to work with him.
