"Why are you yelling?” the reporter asked as Trump’s senior adviser refused to clarify the source of information he was spreading about Venezuela’s crime rate.

Trump senior adviser Stephen Miller had an on-camera meltdown after being asked by a journalist to back up questionable claims he was making about Venezuela’s crime rate, video of the episode posted to social media shows.

The four-minute video shows an emotional Miller yelling at NTN24 reporter José María del Pino on Tuesday after del Pino questioned Miller over his claims that Venezuela has become safer than the United States because its convicts are now all in the U.S.

Miller also repeated a since-debunked story that a Venezuelan gang has taken over Colorado apartment complexes.

    The worst part is the racist cult Miller is performing for will see the interview and ask why the reporter wasn’t as angry as Miller.

      Eh. The actual answer to that question is “he’s genuinely good at and cares about his job as a journalist”. Simple as that.

        You’re trying to apply logic and values as a reply to a comment saying that those values and logic don’t exist.

        That is an answer for reasonable people, and they already know.
