thedailybeast.com —

Former aide Sarah Matthews said White House staffers privately believe new Chief of Staff Stephen Miller is a poor choice, calling him "cuckoo" and alleging relationships with him are kept out of necessity. Matthews, a former deputy press secretary, told MS NOW that Miller is seen as a "white nationalist" who brings out Trump's worst instincts, citing his immigration policies as harmful to Republican support among Latino voters. White House spokesperson Lauren Bis dismissed Matthews as a "disgruntled former low-level staffer," while Miller's promotion followed Susie Wiles' resignation after Democratic midterm wins, drawing criticism from Republican lawmakers.
