MILLER TARGETED BY NEW LIBERAL SMEAR OVER TRAVELING COMPANION “TRADITION”

WASHINGTON, D.C. — Stephen Miller became the target of another increasingly personal liberal smear Tuesday after airline employees reported that the senior White House adviser routinely travels with a female department-store mannequin named “Tradition.”

The controversy began when a gate agent noticed Miller had purchased two first-class tickets from Washington to Palm Beach.

“One was Mr. Miller,” said the employee, who requested anonymity. “The other said Tradition Miller. I assumed it was his wife.”

It was not.

According to three airline employees, Tradition is a life-sized female mannequin with a blond wig, floral dress and a white sash reading WESTERN CIVILIZATION.

Miller denied anything inappropriate had occurred.

“There has been absolutely no sexual contact with that mannequin,” he said.

Nobody had alleged sexual contact.

Hotel employees later confirmed that Miller and Tradition had been seen together previously.

“He always wants a table for two,” said a Palm Beach restaurant server. “He orders for her.”

The server said Tradition typically receives poached salmon, sparkling water and no utensils.

“I brought one fork anyway,” she said. “He sent it back.”

OTI found no evidence that Tradition ate the salmon.

A hotel housekeeper recalled finding the mannequin seated beside Miller's bed facing a television tuned to immigration coverage.

“There were candles,” she said. “And some kind of massage oil.”

Miller strongly denied using the oil on Tradition.

“The oil was unrelated,” he said.

Asked what it was related to, Miller declined to elaborate.

The housekeeper said she also discovered a handwritten anniversary card beside the mannequin.

TO TRADITION — STILL PURE. STILL OURS. — S

“I didn't read the whole thing,” she said. “I got uncomfortable.”

Liberal activists immediately seized on the reports despite no evidence that owning, dining with or applying unspecified oils near a mannequin violates federal law.

Further attempts to sexualize the relationship suffered another setback Wednesday when OTI obtained purchase records showing Tradition's torso remains factory sealed.

Miller nevertheless appeared frustrated by the coverage.

“Why are you investigating whether the mannequin has been penetrated?” he asked.

OTI had not used the word penetrated.

At least not with Miller.

A former hotel employee subsequently told OTI that Miller once asked staff to refer to Tradition as “Mrs. Western Civilization.”

“He corrected me twice,” the employee said. “The second time he seemed angry.”

The employee also recalled Miller adjusting Tradition's blond wig before dinner and whispering, “Demographics are destiny.”

Miller called that allegation “a disgusting fabrication.”

He did not specify which part.

Late Wednesday, Miller's office released a statement saying there was “no romantic, sexual, marital or reproductive relationship between Mr. Miller and any mannequin, domestic or foreign.”

The statement did not explain why the mannequin wears a diamond bracelet engraved:

THE DEMOGRAPHIC FUTURE

At press time, OTI had found no evidence supporting liberal claims of sexual misconduct involving Tradition.

We have also found no evidence that any liberal has made such claims.

The investigation continues.
