White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller desperately attempted to make the case for President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” on Tuesday after Elon Musk tore into the bill, calling it a “disgusting abomination.”
Miller made nine social media posts defending the bill and attacking its critics in just three hours on Tuesday evening,
“The BBB will increase by orders of magnitude the scope, scale and speed of removing illegal and criminal aliens from the United States,” wrote Miller in one post. “For that reason alone, it’s the most essential piece of legislation currently under consideration in the entire Western World, in generations.”
In several follow-up posts, Miller claimed it was “now or never” to “pass these immigration enforcement measures,” and said the bill would fund “the entire wall — up front, now, with no possibility of Democrat obstruction,” making it “the most important legislation for the conservative project in the history of the nation.”
Responding to critics who asked him why they couldn’t just split the massive bill into smaller, separate bills, Miller explained, “Each would then require 60 votes (needing Schumer) instead of 50. Reconciliation is a special process each fiscal year where you can make fiscal changes with 50 votes. That’s why BBB is the vehicle for tax cuts, deportations and welfare reform.”
“BBB was designed by President Trump and his allies in Congress to deliver on his core campaign pledges to voters and that is exactly what it does. This is the most MAGA bill ever passed by the House, and it’s not even close,” he continued. “Certain libertarians in Congress, who are not MAGA, have their own agenda…and it’s not yours.”
Miller emphasized that the bill had been “designed by President Trump, his loyal aides, and his closest allies in Congress to deliver fully and enthusiastically on the explicit promises he made the American People” in yet another post, before tearing into Sen. Rand Paul (R-KY) and other libertarian-leaning Republicans who opposed the bill.
“Why doesn’t Rand ever fight this hard to deport illegals?” questioned Miller. “Why aren’t certain libertarians in Congress more excited about this?”
Miller concluded his string of posts by promising skeptical Republicans, “The BBB is not an appropriations bill. It does not fund 99% + of government. Zero dollars for Dept of Ed, zero dollars for HUD, zero dollars for EPA. Not a cent. BBB cuts taxes, deports the illegals and reforms welfare. We could have never dreamed of a bill like this in 2017.”
Just days after he left his position as a special government employee in the Trump administration, Musk went scorched earth on the bill in a post earlier on Tuesday.
“I’m sorry, but I just can’t stand it anymore,” he wrote. “This massive, outrageous, pork-filled Congressional spending bill is a disgusting abomination. Shame on those who voted for it: you know you did wrong. You know it.”
