Stephen Miller’s apparent love of all things white also spreads to his choice of condiments.
Katie Miller, the wife of Donald Trump’s deputy chief of staff, recently revealed on the debut of her podcast that her hubby — the architect of many of the president’s xenophobic policies — only enjoys one type of sandwich spread: mayonnaise.
Miller’s revelation came during a conversation with Vice President JD Vance about the issues pressing our great nation, including (checks notes), “Is a hot dog a sandwich?”
Vance didn’t seem to expect this type of hard-line question from a fellow Republican.
“No. Abso — is that a question?” he asked.
Once Miller confirmed that she was serious, he said, “definitely not,” only to be asked another gotcha question.
“Does pineapple belong on a pizza?” she wanted to know.
Vance replied, “Of course not. No.”
Miller then got the vice president to admit that if he could only eat one condiment for the rest of his life, it would be barbecue sauce.
Miller had questions. Big questions.
“Not mayonnaise?” she wondered, but Vance wouldn’t let her win this exchange.
“No. No, mayonnaise in low doses is good, but it’s kind of like — I had a buddy who used to eat french fries with mayonnaise,” he said. “I thought that was disgusting.”
Miller then made her big reveal about her husband’s condiment preferences, saying that mayonnaise is “the only thing my husband eats.”
“With french fries or, like, period?” Vance pressed.
“Period,” Miller replied.
To be fair to Vance, he didn’t know how to deal with the news.
“OK. Wow. I didn’t realize,” he said, while Miller emphasized her hubby is “only a mayonnaise guy.”
“I learned something about Stephen I didn’t know,” Vance said.
“Yeah, it’s — whatever,” Miller said.
Considering that mayonnaise has inspired much internet mockery for being a symbol for “whiteness and all its attendant cultural appropriation and entitlement,” the fact that it’s the spread of choice for a pusher of white nationalism tracks.
So much so that the social media account for California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s press office asked its followers, “Anyone want to guess why Voldemort (Stephen Miller) does this?” and promised to retweet the top remarks.
The responses were spicier than Miller’s condiment of choice.
