Stephen Miller, Trump advisor, absolutely loses his mind when journalist José María Del Pino asks him where he gets his information about Venezuela’s supposed low crimes rates.

    He is not talking to us, he doesn’t give a fuck about us. To the ones he is talking to, though, he has delivered a whole message where he is very concerned about a lot of very important issues and the journalist is focusing on a small irrelevant point. He got his discourse out, all of it. The people he is talking to don’t give a fuck about the journalist’s point. 1/3 of the voters won’t ever vote for them. 1/3 of the voters will always vote for them. This video just let him deliver a message to the remaining 1/3 saying “won’t somebody think about the children” and “dictators are sending their criminals here and you worry about crime data in another country.”. Yes, he got what he wanted out of that exchange. This https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xuaHRN7UhRo explains exactly the point.

      By that low bar then, there is nothing special in the video either. It’s not like journalists own the only cameras and access to the internet and accidentally let Miller spew vitriol

      Maga mouths can always do that freely, openly and unchallenged on their own. The fact that a simple question made Miller lose his shit and throw a tantrum may not disuade the morons but it definitely is not a win either
