A Democratic National Committee (DNC) staffer is facing renewed scrutiny after posting a photo of a cake referring to White House adviser Stephen Miller as a "Temu Hitler," escalating an ongoing online feud. The post, shared by Paulina Mangubat on May 28, shows Mangubat holding a sheet cake with the message: "you ratioed Temu Hitler and also are hot," alongside the caption, "Haters mad."

Paulina Mangubat, who describes herself as "Content & Creative for @TheDemocrats" on her X account, later posted: "Team just ratioed Stephen Miller, who is ugly, evil, cruel, and bald."
