Summary

Trump adviser Stephen Miller erupted on Fox News after MSNBC analyst Andrew Weissmann criticized Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to deport migrants as possibly unconstitutional.

Miller called Weissmann “an absolute moron,” “a fool,” and “a degenerate,” claiming he “shills for people who rape and murder Americans.”

When host Martha MacCallum noted both could express opinions, Miller shouted that he’d “defend American lives” while Weissmann “can defend illegal alien rapists, terrorists and predators.”

This continues Miller’s pattern of televised outbursts, including previous incidents on CNN and reactions to SNL jokes about Trump.

    You ignore the fact that it is a senior adviser to the President. His words have a lot of weight to them and he is definitely setting himself up to be sued. Why these people are so stupid is beyond me

    He also accused them of a crime. Hardly just a run of the mill insult. Accusing someone of a crime of moral turpitude when in a position of authority is a criminal act in some jurisdictions.

    You really lose that it doesn’t matter what the fuck I say when you are in a position like he is. But he don’t care and so far not enough people do I guess. It is past time for the other two branches to check these clowns.

      Of course I do, because that’s not relevant.

      He also accused them of a crime.

      No he didn’t.

      What you say when I’m in a position? WTF are you talking about.

        It is very relevant, you can’t even consider what he says without the context of who he is and his position.

        He definitely accused them of aiding and abetting murderers and rapists.

        The last bit was in reference to the fact that when you are a senior official you can’t just say whatever the fuck you want without consequences.

        I am going to go ahead and block you because I don’t really care for the whole devil’s advocate bullshit and you seem pretty unhinged to begin with.

          You’re going to block me because you know your argument is wrong and don’t want to risk being exposed further.
