Stephen Miller Revels After Right-Wing Reporter at Briefing Tees Him Up With Fawning Question Suggesting Biden Was a Puppet President
The Gateway Pundit’s White House correspondent Jordan Conradson teed up Stephen Miller to go on a rant at the end of Thursday’s press briefing.
When CNN’s Kaitlan Collins attempted to ask a follow-up question in the waning moments of Thursday’s session, White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt cut her off and gave the floor to Conradson for what turned out to be the final questions of the briefing.
Conradson threw a softball question to Miller by asking who was “running the White House” under the former president before adding “because I don’t know a single person who believes it was Joe Biden.”
CONRADSON: I have a question for Stephen Miller about DOGE. So you spoke about DOGE, you said roughly $50 billion is said to be caused in a year of waste, fraud and abuse by unelected bureaucrats. We’re hearing this ironic narrative from the president’s critics and the left wing media that Elon Musk is an unelected bureaucrat and he’s doing all this terrible stuff. Isn’t one of those objectives to get rid of the federal bureaucracy, the deep state, and also who is running the White House when Joe Biden was in office? Because I don’t know a single person who believes it was Joe Biden.
MILLER: You’re tempting me to say very harsh things about some of our media friends. It is true that many of the people in this room for four years failed to cover the fact that Joe Biden was mentally incompetent and was not running the country. It is also true that many people in this room who have used this talking point that Elon is not elected fail to understand how government works. So I’m glad for the opportunity for a brief civics lesson. A president is elected by the whole American people. He’s the only official in the entire government that is elected by the entire nation. Right. Judges are appointed. Members of Congress are elected at the district or state level. The Constitution, Article Two has a clause known as the vesting clause. And it says the executive power shall be vested in a president singular. The whole will of democracy is imbued into the elected president. That president then appoint staff to then impose that democratic will onto the government. The threat to democracy, indeed the existential threat to democracy, is the unelected bureaucracy of lifetime tenured civil servants who believe they answer to no one who believes they can do whatever they want without consequence, who believes they can set their own agenda no matter what Americans vote for. So Americans vote for radical FBI reform, and FBI agents say they don’t want to change or Americans vote for radical reform or energy policies. But EPA bureaucrats say they don’t want to change or Americans vote to end racist DEI policies. And lawyers, the Department of Justice say they don’t want to change. What President Trump is doing is he is removing federal bureaucrats who are defying democracy by failing to implement his lawful orders, which are the will of the whole American people.
