Chuck Schumer: “I Cannot Imagine a More Brutally Nasty, Incompetent, Dangerous Person To Serve As White House Chief of Staff Than Stephen Miller.”

After Stephen Miller’s recent promotion to White House Chief of Staff, Senator Chuck Schumer is still not happy about it.

President Trump announced on November 6, 2026, that Stephen Miller would replace Susie Wiles as White House chief of staff; however, Senator Chuck Schumer is not happy about it. The Senate Minority Leader took to social media to express his thoughts, and he did not reach for a diplomatic phrase.

“I cannot imagine a more brutally nasty, incompetent, dangerous person to serve as White House Chief of Staff than Stephen Miller. This is the same guy who smeared Renée Good and Alex Pretti as “domestic terrorists” and “assassins” after federal agents murdered them. Miller represents everything Americans just overwhelmingly rejected.”

Schumer has led Senate Democrats since 2017, including four years as majority leader. He helped pass the bipartisan infrastructure law, the CHIPS and Science Act, and the Inflation Reduction Act in a 50-50 Senate. He has spent a year attacking Miller by name over the DHS shutdown and stalled ICE reforms. His post sharpened that case, saying Trump learned nothing from his historic defeat.

Senator Chuck Schumer Shared His Thoughts About Stephen Miller

Miller, 41, built his reputation on immigration enforcement. He helped shape the 2017 travel ban and the family separation policy at the border. As deputy chief of staff, he drove arrests toward 3,000 a day and expanded ICE operations in American cities. After agents killed Alex Pretti in Minneapolis, Miller called the ICU nurse a “would-be assassin.” He later conceded agents “may not have been following” protocol. Both shootings remain under investigation.

Other Democrats were just as blunt. California Gov. Gavin Newsom said the pick insulted Americans who voted for change on Tuesday. He also tied Miller to a deportation drive that split families apart and, he said, left innocent people dead. Some Republicans have been critical too. Retiring North Carolina Sen. Thom Tillis has called Miller “incompetent.”

Schumer’s post ended with the claim he wants voters to remember. From the senator’s point of view, Stephen Miller is everything the American people tried to get rid of in the recent elections.
