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


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:

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.


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.


And Gorka? Try to ignore the shiny things.

Is it normal for someone working in the WH to be monitoring a private citizen's tweets throughout the day?

Is it normal for someone working in the area of national security to be using his unsecured personal cell phone in the WH so that his calls aren't logged?

Any comments for OP?


It is suspicious, but you are absolutely correct- I am guessing he isn't going to come out and confirm. So I will grant you that.

Have you looked at the Bannon video. Would love to hear your views on that. It is 46 seconds long- won't take up too much time.

Hey, pp. Do you think we can’t figure out where you got that photo?
Cute that you clipped the photo, but didn’t clip the article or cite the source. Why not?
Because you got it from Snopes.... and they call your claim FALSE.
You have been BUSTED. So, you are disgusted AND busted.

http://www.snopes.com/stephen-miller-white-power-hand-sign/

A photograph clearly shows White House advisor Stephen Miller using a hand gesture that means "white power."

RATING
FALSE
ORIGIN
On 21 February 2017, web site DailyKos.com shared a photograph of White House advisor Stephen Miller, along with a claim that the image clearly shows him using a hand gesture that signifies white nationalism:

It is impossible to tell, 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.

However, the position of Miller’s hands do not match the white power hand symbol image provided by the ADL
