Stephen Miller Needs A Shock Treatment
True to form, Trump's Deputy Chief of Staff, Stephen Miller, took advantage of CNN's invitation to appear and launched into an unhinged rant about the future of the world and the US as a superpower.
The lesson for networks is: do not, under any circumstances, invite Stephen Miller on your airwaves.
Jake Tapper asked a simple question about who will lead Venezuela since Trump overlooked María Corina Machado. This prompted Miller to spew nonsense that it's some "US manifest destiny" to take over countries in and out of our hemisphere.
MILLER: First of all, all all Venezuelan experts agree all Venezuelan experts agree that it would be absurd and preposterous for us to suddenly fly her into the country and to put her in charge and the military would follow her and the security forces would follow her.
This isn't... this is not a serious... It's not even a serious question.
TAPPER: So should there be an election?
MILLER: The... let me... if you give me the floor for 30 seconds, let me tell you what we are doing here, Jake.
Here is where Miller rips off an unhinged, bizarre rant of US history, like a man hyped up on the drugs he says Maduro is killing Americans with.
Miller: The United States, this is this is sort of foundational. The United States is using its military to secure our interests unapologetically in our hemisphere.
We're a superpower. And under President Trump, we are going to conduct ourselves as a superpower.
