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.

I would kill or die to see American reporters grow a fucking pair and hammer the questions home like this.

[–] [email protected] 76 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's beautiful. Just stays on point, doesn't let Miller's yelling distract him and keeps asking the right question.

I love how these fucks are happy to throw out numbers as long as there are no follow up questions.

He should be asked this exact same question by other journalists, but maybe add "If you don't know the statistics, just say so."

[–] [email protected] 117 points 7 months ago (1 children)

THAT'S how you take down a Gish Gallop.

"I don't give a fuck what you're trying to pivot to. Do you trust Maduro's statistics?"

[–] [email protected] 69 points 7 months ago

Exactly. This guy just put on a fucking master class on how to not get gas lit. Forming a tenable position is based on progressive and logical steps. When you're all over the fucking map like Miller, you don't have a leg sot stand on. This is doubly true when you cherry pick the facts or don't have facts to begin with.

By not moving from his position, the reporter made Miller look like the shit-bagel he is, AND pissed him the fuck off.

Amazing. Reporter of the fucking year

In summary, Stephen Miller trusts Nicolás Maduro.

Weird.

4.5 min video of the exchange. Very satisfying watch!

[–] [email protected] 17 points 7 months ago

Thank you for sharing. I’m quite happy to see that POS get this upset by a question.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 7 months ago (2 children)

This guy is fucked up in the head... He just keeps making up disgusting lies so heinous that people won't question him.

This is junior high levels of debate fuckery.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 7 months ago

Stephen is a prominent racist in a group consisting of like 99% racists. He's evil. Truly fucked in the head.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Uh, how can you care about facts when I mention DEAD CHILDREN!? ^^/s

[–] [email protected] 7 points 7 months ago

Isn't he the one who sent "womp womp" when people asked him about children in cages?

[–] [email protected] 50 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Miller was so far out of his depth there. It was like a mini replay of the main event.

[–] [email protected] 35 points 7 months ago

he was so sure he had an argument winner with Maduro sending his criminals to the US, he couldn't let it go.

We're going to SAVE the CHILDREN by MURDERING them in School!

But not the British children?

Lizard-man: "The facts are..." proceeds to spout inflammatory speculation based on emotions

As someone who's in Aurora a fair bit, I doubt you need me to tell you, but the right-wing stories are bullshit:

Dollars to donuts Republicans are smuggling in violent criminals themselves

Miller is not a sharp mind, he couldn’t flexibly come up with a response to a changing situation and resorted to bullying, which didn’t work either

The reporter wasn’t even that sharp or clever either, which again tells you what you need to know about Miller, he would be mid-level manager somewhere if not for his luck

I disagree. Too many people get lead off the path by the MAGA bullshit fire hose. Dude just kept forcing the dipshit back to his question.. over and over.

It makes clear to viewers what Miller is doing and why he turned into a man baby as the video goes on.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 7 months ago

I think the point was that the reporter was being no more than competent enough to insist on a reply to his question. It looked sharp only compared to milquetoast U.S. reporters who are almost universally afraid to confront anyone for fear of blacklisting.

God that was satisfying watching the little rat squirm and get big toddler energy when not allowed to dodge a question and move on with more bullshit lies.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 7 months ago

Watching that chrome dome get shinier and shinier was fantastic.

The right is very good at picking a name and holding it up to "win". They do this because they can't deal with statistics.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

I haven't seen Stephen Miller have a meltdown like that since his hairline liquefied and ran down his face

Edit: I guess only Ghouliani's hair ran down his face. Miller just dusted his head with Norelco trimmings

Copying my comment from another thread:
