At an inauguration-eve rally in Washington last weekend, celebrities took turns firing up the jubilant crowd of Trump supporters who had gathered to herald the dawn of a new American age — among them Jon Voight, Dana White and Kid Rock.
But it was not the Hollywood actor, the UFC frontman or the rock star who won the biggest roar from the Maga faithful. Instead it was a policy wonk, Stephen Miller, the architect of Donald Trump’s second-term policy agenda and anti-immigration ideologue.
“They were so sure they were going to crush this movement out of existence,” bellowed Miller as his fiery eight-minute address reached a peak. “And yet here we stand today and Maga is stronger, more powerful, more united and more determined than ever before.” The crowd went wild.
