Trump Advisor, Stephen Miller, Disasterously Defends Trump

Stephen Miller, President Donald Trumps senior policy adviser, made the rounds on Sundays political talk shows to defend the administrations stance on several major issues. It did not go well.

On ABCs This Week, he vigorously defended ― but provided no evidence to support ― Trumps lie that millions of people had voted illegally.


Im prepared to go on any show, anywhere, any time and repeat it and say the president of the United States is correct, 100 percent, he said.


After pressing Miller several times to no avail, host George Stephanopoulos ended the segment.


You have provided zero evidence of the presidents claim that he would have won the popular vote if 3 to 5 million illegal immigrants hadnt voted, zero evidence for either one of those claims, Stephanopoulos said, "Thanks a lot for joining us this morning.."

Miller, who was influential in drafting the ban, told CBS News John Dickerson that it was crazy for judges to rule on the constitutionality of laws. He also reiterated criticism of Judge James Robart, the Seattle-based federal judge who halted the ban earlier this month.

[Stuart G]

6. It may sell in the Repub world, but...

this is an insult to the entire federal judiciary ...Even the Supreme Court Judges..are federal judges, ......
...(am I correct??)...and this idiot has just insulted every last one and the history of the judiciary..in defending a stupid individual with even a stupider argument, that highlights the stupidity of both....

5. Trump attracts people like this. Stephen Miller is pure Alt Right hate.

Miller was considered an insane crank that people ignored. Now he is a White House advisor. It is truly frightening. The people who know him and grew up with him in Santa Monica, California, are aghast. https://www.google.com/amp/amp.laist.com/amp/articles/create%3farticle_id=58a0d2c6ada6e21d1227f877

7. can I add this....Alt Right hate...and stupid.......(nt)

[SunSeeker]

9. Allowing yourself to be ruled by hate is a sign of stupidity, or insanity. nt

[underpants]

10. This is the third background piece on him I've seen today

Psychopathic self-promoting douchebag.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

12. Miller worked for Session, Scott Brown, and Michele Bachmann. Get the general idea? Yeah . . . nt

[randome]

18. But he's STILL an insane crank. Rejoice! All our opponents are incompetent.

It's only a matter of time before they off themselves. We need to help the process along.

[Mr.Bill]

8. Trump is throwing people to the wolves to keep criticism away from himself.

Next step is he will start firing people, again to shift attention and blame from himself, and also to install new people to throw under the bus. Go a few steps down the ladder to the lower echelons and he will grind up and spit out the careers of hundreds of people in a matter of months.

Soon he won't be able to find any one to work for him. They already had to start pretty low on the ladder if Batshit Crazy Michelle Bachmann's Press Secretary is a senior advisor to the POTUS.

[WinkyDink]

11. This is stupefyingly appalling in his ignorance.

[OKNancy]

14. re: "'Crazy' for judges to rule on the constitutionality of laws"

At a certain point, that's pretty much their entire purpose.

[Strelnikov_]

16. We have entered bizarro world. n/t

[Falcon101]

15. Was he reading a teleprompter? Or was he just a robot?

[snort]

22. It sure looked like he was glancing at crib notes.

Its bizarre that an American can be like this.

[lastlib]

17. "...it is emphatically the duty of the judiciary to say what the law is."

Didn't I read that somewhere in constitutional law class a couple decades ago? Maybe a minor Supreme Court decision? I dunno......

Sure bet these idjits running the country (into the ground) never read it. That takes comprehension skills far beyond theirs.

19. "and say the president of the United States is correct, 100 percent" -- "Muslim ban"

Trump called his ban a "Muslim ban", exact words.

Thank you for clearing that up, Stephen.

It was a "Muslim ban"

20. Had never seen Miller before. What incompetent fools on the WH staff. GAH nt

[Moral Compass]

21. Spelling police

I hate to be the spelling police but it is "disastrously " not "disasterously". Hate to see a valid posting be derailed by a small spelling error in the headline.

23. Reminds me of an old saying...

"This isn't playing well in Peoria..."

These clowns never learned rule number one from Marshall MacLuhen - TV is a cool medium, hot characters never come across well. Cool politicians like JFK and Obama exude calm, competence, and confidence - hot heads project panic, instability, and incompetence. Mr. Miller seemed positively unstable.

[exboyfil]

28. My Business Psychology professor

referenced Raymond Burr. B&W is cooler, but once color became the standard, they had to put Perry Mason into a wheelchair (ie Ironside) to cool the character down.

[Blue Idaho]

30. Interesting! nt.

[bora13]

24. taking the heat off

orange spice and spicey spice. that's all it is folks. nothing to see here.
see goebbels round-robin strategy.

[ck4829]

25. K&R

[Lanius]

26. So Stephen Miller is one of those Nixonian guys who believe "When the president does it

that means it isn't illegal"? Scary stuff that there are Americans who supposedly "revere" the Constitution and the separation of powers yet want the president to basically be an Ancient Roman dictator. But I guess that's the authoritarian personality that has taken over the GOP.

[rock]

27. What is really embarassing most about the Trum Administration

Is the extremely low level of intelligence that they have (each one and collectively).

On update: I dropped the "P" in Trump - must have been a Freudian slip.

[Eliot Rosewater]

29. Rest of the world has to be scared shitless.

The one thing they would hope for is Fuckface is surrounded by intelligent people who know what to do even if Fuckface doesnt.

But the whole bunch of them are just a bunch of deplorable dumbshits.

Deep trouble for all human beings.
