“I don’t know if the president even saw the comment that was on there,” Jason Miller suggested, nonsensically.

Trump advisor Jason Miller stopped by CNN This Morning on Thursday, and was left squirming when anchor Kasie Hunt confronted him about Donald Trump’s recent Truth Social post that featured a screenshot of an image of younger Kamala Harris smiling next to Hillary Clinton, with a caption underneath that read, “Funny how blowjobs impacted both their careers differently.”

“What would you say to the vice president of the United States about the comment that [Trump] reposted?” Hunt asked.

“Well, I saw the social media post,” Miller replied. “I have not discussed that with the president. I don’t know if the president even saw the comment that was on there or simply the picture.”

Miller then quickly pivoted to accuse Democrats of attacking Trump with even more vitriol, telling Hunt, “The attacks that have been levied by Kamala Harris’ campaign and by Harris’ allies against President Trump — not just recently but over the past year and a half, two years, ever since he came down the escalator, quite frankly—in the case of many leftist-centered people, have been quite horrific.”

Hunt asked Miller if he thought the criticisms against Trump have been “as horrific” as the image Trump had reposted. Miller replied, “Oh, a hundred times worse.”

“But they haven’t been sexual in nature in this way,” Hunt pointed out.

“Again, I haven’t discussed that with the president,” Miller said. “I don’t know if the president even saw the comment that was on there. That’s not something that I have asked.”

    These BS artists just spew lie after lie as a jumping off point to the question, and don’t even try to answer the question.

    Amazing. His defense is that trump maybe just shared a sexed up, generated image of Harris without reading the caption. What a creep.

      Fucking hell! I was so confused why this guy needed to talk to Biden. It’s ex-president or if you’re being detailed felon, rapist, racist, pedophile, twice impeached, ex-president.

        Defeated former president.

        Every other presidential candidate election during my lifetime has conceded. He was resoundingly defeated.

    Oh, a hundred times worse.

    !!!

    What an absolute despicable liar.
    Arguably the worst thing Harris has called Trump is “felon”, and that is true.

    But next Jason Miller will probably claim that because it’s true it’s worse, and Trump is crying himself to sleep every night over it, because he is such a spoiled cry baby.

    Don’t forget that CNN has shifted with the Overton Window to the right.

    CNN is just about what Faux News was when it first launched. They pander to both sides but just a little more to the right.

      There is an author that wrote a book about 20 years ago that was his mea culpa for helping CNN to create the shout show format. I’m not sure they’ve ever really been even half as “liberal” as the unhinged right wing claims.

          Yes, good point. I was going to mention that Firing Line with Bill F’ing Buckley was on PBS long before then, too. And PBS is supposedly the network of Karl Marx, if you are to believe the unhinged right wing.

          And that’s after Buckley called Vidal a queer and threatened him with violence.

          Firing Line is something the people at CNN were most likely influence by. I wish I could remember the name of that book and the name of the person that wrote it, but I bet they even said something about Firing Line.

          In any case, this stuff has been going on for a very long time, on my supposedly “liberal media” television stations…LOL.

    “Well, I saw the social media post,” Miller replied. “I have not discussed that with the president. I don’t know if the president even saw the comment that was on there or simply the picture.”

    Why would a Trump advisor discuss it with Biden? Does Jason Miller have dementia?

    Tap for spoiler

    Yes I know about the convention of addressing former presidents as “president.” Trump does not fucking deserve that courtesy, not even the slightest bit!

      Wouldn’t the next question be “if he’s unable to process or notice that a single simple caption under the image exists, how could he be trusted to process information pertinent to running a nation?”

        He is straight up illiterate. I watched a video where an actor working with him on some show said he couldn’t read his lines - he insisted on making up his own lines.

      It’s a title, used like “President Obama.” I don’t think normal people say “the president” about former ones. This is weird conduct.
