Stephen Miller reportedly was escorted off set by security after a fiery CNN interview
President Trump’s senior adviser for policy was recently escorted off the set of a CNN broadcast after clashing with host Jake Tapper, according to Business Insider .
Business Insider on Sunday reported that Stephen Miller was removed after verbally sparring with Tapper live on that morning’s broadcast of CNN’s “State of the Union.”
Two sources close to the situation told Business Insider that Miller was asked to leave CNN’s set several times after Sunday’s taping concluded.
Miller ignored those requests, Business Insider’s sources noted, and he was eventually escorted out after security was summoned.
Fireworks erupted between Miller and Tapper Sunday while the pair were discussing CNN’s coverage of Trump’s administration.
Miller repeatedly criticized CNN for treating Trump unfairly, leading Tapper to ultimately cut short their segment together prematurely.
“You have a 24 hours a day of anti-Trump material and you’re not going to give three minutes for the American people to hear the real experience of Donald Trump,” Miller asked Tapper at one point.
“I get it,” Tapper said later. “There’s one viewer that you care about right now and you’re being obsequious and you’re being a factotum in order to please him, OK.”
“And I think I’m wasted enough of my viewers’ time,” Tapper continued after seemingly alluding to Trump. “Thank you, Stephen.”
Trump on Sunday tweeted that Miller “destroyed” Tapper in the pair’s exchange, adding that the CNN host is a “flunky” for the network.
“Jake Tapper of Fake News CNN just got destroyed in his interview with Stephen Miller of the Trump Administration,” he wrote. “Watch the hatred and unfairness of this CNN flunky!”
Miller and Tapper verbally battled over author Michael Wolff’s controversial new book, “Fire and Fury: Inside the White House.”
“Fire and Fury” paints an unflattering picture of Trump’s administration, with the book claiming many of Trump’s closest allies consider him unfit for the presidency.
Steve Millers the man!
"A MAN" would have answered Tapper's questions in such a way as to undermine the perceived left wing slant of MSNBC news. Steven Miller did the exact opposite of that, he showed that he could not handle any questions by refusing to even address them and simply repeating RWNJ talking points over and over and Louder and LOUDER, that were completely unrelated to the questions.
He was equivalent to the guy, sitting in the audience for an opera, cheering and screaming about the football game that he is listening to through earphones. Nothing he says or does has any relationship with where he is, he's just making nonsensical noise as far as everyone around him is concerned.
Excellent points.
You are partly right in that Miller didn't answer questions, but based on the conduct of CNN over the past year, Miller did the right thing - he trashed them without an ounce of respect. Exactly what CNN deserved
If he can't, after agreeing to appear on a news show, answer questions in a calm rational manner, he needs to resign from his job since, THAT IS A LARGE PART OF HIS JOB. Apparently it got so bad that they had to call security to escort him off the set after he repeatedly refused to leave.
“I get it,” Tapper said later. “There’s one viewer that you care about right now and you’re being obsequious and you’re being a factotum in order to please him, OK.”
That is pretty much it in a nutshell. CNN is not a platform for Trump sycophants to pander to their Dear Leader.
I watched the interview on the internet. Miller did not "pwn'ed" Tapper. Miller must be an extremely angry man to have to be escorted out of the studio after being asked to leave.
Miller went on and on about trump and and his concern for the little guy which makes me laugh because trump has no care for the little guy
I saw the interview too. Tapper got to the point when he said that Miller was speaking to an audience of one. Miller knew Trump was watching or would see it and he wanted to properly bootlick his boss.
I don't think Tapper is innocent either though. He brought Miller on there knowing what would happen if he kept asking Miller about the book and whether Trump is mentally fit for office.
Miller reminds me of the Nazi or Soviet characters in those old spy and foreign intrigue movies.
Unfortunately Tapper had real questions about Trump and his administration, so he had to talk to someone in that administration. Miller is not unique in his belief that "volume = truth", anyone that he could have brought in would have responded the same nonsensical replies (though maybe without as much volume).
Steven Miller is the public face of the Trump administration. A lying heartless reptilian face but a face none the less...
If my dog had his face, I would shave its butt and teach it to walk backwards.
I applaud your restraint. I would have included "soulless" and "squalid" (and still felt it would have been too mild).
He called them out and they didn't like it. So they "remove" him. Liberal (in)tolerance at it's best.
And yet he gave no effort whatsoever to actually answer the question. Why did he agree to show up on MSNBC if he knew he wasn't going to answer even the most basic question? His yelling was just to mask the fact that he had no explanation about Trump's statements and actions, so instead of even trying, he just started yelling RWNJ talking points and claiming to be the victim....AGAIN.
(MSNBC and CNN always pick on us, they're sooo mean...)
Miller should have booked a gig with Sean Hannity if he wanted to get his "message" out
If you remember, neither Obama or Hillary really answered questions either, almost all liberals lie or deflect, can't remember, or "I don't recall"
How about you take a count of how many times each did it, post the references, and compare it to recent Trump republicans testifying? As opposed to pulling a claim out of your ass.
Yeah, you would want that information, becuase 'you can't recall'.
That's the disadvantage of trying to rewrite history, people actually want proof of it. I saw Obama on an early FoxNews interview, no yelling, and he actually responded to the questions themselves.
Are you referencing Sessions' testimony at the Congressional hearing. I was sad wasn't it?
And they call us "snowflakes." What tender little things they are.
For those of you who didn't listen/watch, I can offer you a non-partisan opinion on the interview.
I'm non-partisan in the respect that I find no value in either the interviewer OR the interviewee.
These were 2 partisan hacks, going at it, attempting to get the best/last word in on every single question. It was theater, and not the kind that would ever be considered for any kind of critical acclaim, if you follow.
They both had an ax to grind, and neither sought common ground on any count.
They are indeed both flunkies for their respective employers.
You're hoping you can pass off some sort of make-shift nihilism as non-partisanism. Aint gonna work.
And you're the end all to what I'm thinking.
Piffle.
Apparently Miller wasn't done after Tapper ended the interview
What a sad and angry little man Miller is. He looks like a doped-up Muppet with the matching intellectual ability.
Another photo, for reference.
When I first saw a photo of this guy I thought he was Putin.
He's more like one of Putin's kept boys.
The eyes of a criminal. Hollywood take note and type cast him as such. He'll likely be needing a job soon.
CNN has turned itself into the Jerry Springer show. Tapper is a hack who should stop the pretense of being a reporter.
I guess its hard to get people like Hannity who are willing to stick their head up Trumps ass to make points. Thank god.
