During the 2016 presidential primaries, Miller used Breitbart News to call Rubio a 'pathological liar' and to label immigrants as 'child sex offenders.'

White House senior adviser Stephen Miller used Breitbart News during the 2016 presidential primaries to run vehemently pro-Trump, anti-immigrant stories he either suggested or wrote directly under bogus"staff" bylines.

In one email condemning both Rubio and immigration, Miller wrote,"I also think the words 'immigration reform' should be used exclusive [sic] to describe proposals to limit immigration. Rubio is an extremist who wants unlimited immigration, the American people are moderate and want to hit pause after the deluge."

The series of leaked emails straddles Miller's transition as an aide to Sessions to his role after joining the Trump campaign in early 2016. The former Breitbart editor who leaked the damning email exchanges to the SPLC, Katie McHugh, saidis hardly the word to describe the behavior of then-chief Steve Bannon and the site's other top editorial directors.

"I think this is one of the best demonstrations we've come up with so far to demonstrate the true scope of immigration," Miller said.
