The North Carolina Republican US Senator goes to the heart of the Trump Immigration hammer….
Trump White House Asst., HAS Been the driving force in the ‘body count’ push for immigrant deportation’s…
Tillis isn’t runnoing for office again…..
He’s free of any reprisals from his party leader President Trump….
Replacing the Homeland Sec. will makle no difference in things if Stephen Miller still runs things in the Trump admin…
While Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem will soon depart her Cabinet-level post, Sen. Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) also wants White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller to leave President Trump’s inner circle.
Tillis told CNN’s Jake Tapper on “State of the Union” on Sunday that Miller, a longtime adviser to Trump dating back to his first presidential campaign, is “out of his depth” and has been “repeatedly responsible for embarrassments” for the administration.
When Tapper asked whether Tillis thought Miller should be relieved of his duties, the retiring senator replied, “Oh, of course I do.”
“Not only does Stephen really want to just paint a picture. He’s not worried about substance. He’s more worried about form,” Tillis added later.
“But I also think that he has an outsized influence over the operations of the Cabinet,” he continued. “And I believe we have got qualified Cabinet members there that sometimes are doing less than what they want to because of his direction and his outsized influence.”…
…
Now, as Sen. Markwayne Mullin (R-Okla.) prepares for his confirmation hearings to replace Noem at the helm of DHS, Tillis believes his Senate colleague “will be independent” and “driven by data” in implementing Trump’s deportation agenda. Tillis has specifically criticized Miller for pushing to increase immigration arrests.
“He will leverage law enforcement resources, expertise, people like [White House border czar] Tom Homan to get things right,” the GOP senator said of Mullin. “And if he doesn’t, we’d hold him accountable.”….
Note…
Will Trump let his new DHS Boss run his own show?
Tillis has become the favorite “go to”media favorite for a guaranteed anti Trump quote.Since he is not running again ,Tillis has nothing to fear from MAGA or Trump.
Well not so fast,
Tillis often modifies his criticism of Trump policies by noting that the President is saying or doing something because of bad “ advice’ he is getting from his advisors.Presumably,if they would just let Trump be Trump everything would be ok.
Those, like our moderator, who anxiously seek anti Trump statements from Republican personages sometimes fail to dig a little deeper.
See it ain’t Trump who is the problem ,it’s those damn “ advisors.”
