Stephen Miller, Trump advisor, absolutely loses his mind when journalist José María Del Pino asks him where he gets his information about Venezuela’s supposed low crimes rates.
THAT’S how you take down a Gish Gallop.
“I don’t give a fuck what you’re trying to pivot to. Do you trust Maduro’s statistics?”
Exactly. This guy just put on a fucking master class on how to not get gas lit. Forming a tenable position is based on progressive and logical steps. When you’re all over the fucking map like Miller, you don’t have a leg sot stand on. This is doubly true when you cherry pick the facts or don’t have facts to begin with.
By not moving from his position, the reporter made Miller look like the shit-bagel he is, AND pissed him the fuck off.
Amazing. Reporter of the fucking year
Miller was so far out of his depth there. It was like a mini replay of the main event.
he was so sure he had an argument winner with Maduro sending his criminals to the US, he couldn’t let it go.
I would kill or die to see American reporters grow a fucking pair and hammer the questions home like this.
Stephen Miller is a subhuman piece of garbage. He’s pretty much directly responsible for every single piece of race-based Executive Action in the Trump White House. He honestly believes he’s a true Svengali/Jafar/Puppeteer of people, and regularly flips out when confronted with truth and facts. His own family calls out his Jewish heritage, and he’s aligned with White Nationalist groups. Insane.
