[b]It is impossible to tell[/b], in the absence of additional images or video to use for comparison purposes whether Miller was deliberately using a hand gesture of any sort or whether this picture simply captured him during a fleeting moment while he was adjusting his tie and jacket. We have reached out to Roberts to see if any such footage is available.

Given what we know about these people, him flashing a suit and tie version of the white power hands seems totally expected. [/quote]

And, yet, even Snopes says the “hand signal” in the photo is not consistent with image provided by the Anti-Defamation League. 
In fact, if you bother to read Snopes, the article goes further:

[quote]Anti-Defamation League senior researcher Mark Pitcavage told us that the claim is not credible:

A photo of White House staffer Stephen Miller has been circulating on social media in which people claim that Miller is surreptitiously sending a “white power” hand sign to, one presumes, viewers.  However, he seems merely to be adjusting his suit and tie, while his hand positioning does not actually resemble the “WP” hand sign that some California-based white supremacist street gang members use.  More importantly, there is no reason why Miller would even know of such an obscure symbol, much less use it, and in any case, Miller is Jewish and would be rejected by white supremacists on that basis.  There is simply no credibility to this claim.
Evidence that Miller was actually using a controversial gesture is circumstantial at best, and most likely simply captures him in the act of adjusting his outfit just before appearing on camera.[/quote]

You all are grasping at straws. 
And, the poster who even posted this image is just plain stupid, IMO.  Does he/she think we cannot determine the origin of the photo and the back story?  
Posting an image from a site that discredits the photo - the epitome of stupidity.  [/quote]
