CNN Pundit Torches ‘Despicable Human Being’ Stephen Miller Moments After Report He’s Landed Key Trump WH Post: ‘His Own Family Disowned Him’
CNN political commentator Tara Setmayer torched Stephen Miller as a “despicable human being” whose “own family has disowned him” just moments after it was reported on Monday that Miller would serve as deputy chief of staff for policy in Donald Trump’s forthcoming second administration after acting as a senior advisor in his first.
“Tara, I mean, you know Stephen Miller’s politics and his policy ideas all too well. We should remind our viewers, he was one of the architects of the family separation policy during the first Trump administration,” said Jim Acosta to kick off the segment. “That policy, for viewers who don’t remember it, resulted in the separation of thousands of migrant families basically taking children away from their mothers when they came across the border into this country unlawfully. Tara, your reaction to Stephen Miller being tapped for this kind of a role?”
“Well, that’s what people voted for. I suggest lots of folks who voted for Donald Trump go back and watch a lot of interviews and media appearances by Stephen Miller. And you see who he is. He’s a despicable human being that is a racist and a xenophobe, and his own family has disowned him,” replied Setmayer. “And this is now who is-, who has proximity to power in the White House, basically number two, next to Susie Wiles in the ear of the president of the United States. Well, I guess the upside is at least he won’t be DHS secretary or attorney general.”
“Don’t think that’s because they were probably worried that he couldn’t get confirmed. Is that?” asked Acosta in a follow-up.
“Probably! Yes! But, you know, Trump, that’s why Trump is asking for recess appointments and they’re trying to circumvent normal institutions and processes because you’re going to find out that a lot of these people will would not be able to pass muster once they are really on public display,” answered Setmayer. “A lot of people who felt that, well, it was the economy or it won’t be so bad or you know, they’re not fully aware of what they have done and the people they have ushered in. You didn’t just vote for Donald Trump. You voted for the people like Stephen Miller, the people who gave those speeches during the the fascist rally there you had in Madison Square Garden. They voted for that, too.”
