Miller is the guy who has been working hard since the beginning of Donald Trump’s time in office to halt illegal and legal immigration into America…
Miller also seems to be on the same page as Attorney General William Bar….
They are not working to make America the best it can be, or even following the law, or common sense and some felling for fellow human beings….
They are blind in their loyal to Donald Trump…..
PERIOD…
Interesting that Chris Wallace over a Fox laid their bare on Miller….
On this weekend’s broadcast of “Fox News Sunday,” White House adviser Stephen Miller defended President Donald Trump’s tweets directed at “The Squad,” Reps. Ilhan Omar (D-MN), Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY), Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) and Rashida Tlaib (D-MI).
Miller said, “Let me just cut to the heart of the issue. These four congresswomen detest America as it exists, as it is currently constructed. They want to tear down the structure of our country. They want us to be a socialist, open borders country. If you, as Donald Trump says, want to destroy America with open borders, you cannot see you love your country. If you attack border agents the way Ocasio-Cortez has it means you have a deep-seated hatred of the nation as it exists. That’s why you want to erase its borders, fundamentally transform the country and in the process it doesn’t matter if American citizens lose their jobs, lose their homes, lose their livelihoods, lose their health coverage and lose their very lives.”….
on Fox, host Chris Wallace asked Miller: Why shouldn’t people see the latest attacks and other controversial Trump comments (e.g., “very fine people”) as racism? The White House policy adviser first tried to shift the subject, saying, “I think the term ‘racist,’ Chris, has become a label that is too often deployed by left [and] Democrats in this country simply to try to silence and punish and suppress people they disagree with.” When Wallace persisted in pointing out the basic fact that questioning the first black president’s place of birth “is playing the race card,” Miller shifted to whataboutism, attacking rhetoric from two of the congresswomen, Omar and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.)
But Wallace pointed out that “during his 2016 campaign, and even as president, Mr. Trump has been as critical of this country as anything” the congresswomen have said. Pivoting off the mention of Ocasio-Cortez, Wallace asked Miller to defend Trump’s false claim that the New York congresswoman had called “our country and our people ‘garbage.’” (Actually, Ocasio-Cortez was referring to particular policies, not the country.) When Miller obliged, Wallace cited a 2014 tweet from Trump, in which Trump said the United States under Obama was “garbage.” Miller, clearly peeved at being caught in a trap, snapped:
Throughout this interview, Chris, you’re continuing to conflate Donald Trump’s criticisms of President Obama versus AOC’s deep and systemic criticisms of the country itself.
And so, let me just cut to the heart of the issue. These four congresswomen detest America as it exists, as it is currently constructed. They want to tear down the structure of our country. They want it to be a socialist, open borders country.
If you, as Donald Trump says, want to destroy America with open borders, you cannot say you love your country. If you attack border agents the way that Ocasio-Cortez has, it means you have a deep-seated hatred of the nation as it exists. That’s why you want to erase its borders, fundamentally transform the country and in the process, it doesn’t matter if American citizens lose their jobs, lose their homes, lose their livelihoods, lose their health coverage and lose their very lives.
Miller’s words do more than just undercut his earlier whataboutism and distraction. They lay bare (again) the authoritarianism at the heart of the Trump administration: To disagree with this president is to disagree with America itself. To criticize the country is to tear it down. To suggest America, as “currently constructed,” is imperfect is to threaten Americans’ “very lives.”….

One wonders how FoxNews viewers ,who are mostly Republicans and Trump supporters,feel about Wallace and Shep Smith,who almost daily conduct aggressive tough interviews and make negative comments about the Trump Administration.
I guess they just mark it down as “fake news.”
Democratic Socialist Dave says
Probably lump them together with Megyn Kelly..
jamesb says
I would think those two give the place some validity in saying they are serious news outlets….
Wallace did a pretty good job on the dweeb….
Democratic Socialist Dave says
Jo Swinson or Sir Ed Davey will be named as the next leader of the Liberal Democrats later, replacing incumbent Sir Vince Cable.
The result of the pro-EU party’s leadership contest is expected at around 16:00 BST [11 a.m. EDT] on Monday.
Ms Swinson, the MP for East Dunbartonshire, has been the party’s deputy leader for two years and is the bookmakers’ favourite.
She is up against ex-energy secretary Sir Ed, MP for Kingston and Surbiton
Both candidates are backing another EU referendum.
The Liberal Democrats began the process of choosing their next leader in May, as Sir Vince – who has served as leader since July 2017 – announced he would be handing over a “bigger, stronger party”.
Under Sir Vince, the Lib Dems have been at the forefront of the campaign for another EU referendum as a means of stopping Brexit.
The party now has 12 MPs and won 20% of the vote share in the European elections.
In the English local elections in May, they were the biggest winners of the night.
Analysis: By Jonathan Blake, BBC political correspondent
The other leadership contest may have been taking place slightly under the radar in recent weeks, but Ed Davey and Jo Swinson have been taking part in hustings up and down the country trying to win votes.
Ms Swinson is widely seen as the frontrunner, but it’s a close call, and in policy terms, there’s really not a huge amount between them.
Ed Davey makes a huge amount of his record on climate change and the environment – his experience of working on that issue in the coalition government. Jo Swinson, on the other hand, says she’s a fresh face – and as a dynamic female leader she’ll better be able to cut through in the media.
It’ll come down to whether Lib Dem members prefer a more experienced, older hand or a newer, younger figure, less associated with some of the controversial decisions made by the coalition.
Ms Swinson has previously suggested that the election of Boris Johnson as Tory leader could be an excellent recruiting tool for the Lib Dems.
She believes Mr Johnson – the favourite to replace Theresa May – would be disastrous as PM, but a “silver lining” would be that it would be good for her party.
The result of the Tory battle for Number 10 will be announced on Tuesday….
