Trump advisor Jason Miller stopped by CNN This Morning on Thursday, and was left squirming when anchor Kasie Hunt confronted him about Donald Trump’s recent Truth Social post that featured a screenshot of an image of younger Kamala Harris smiling next to Hillary Clinton, with a caption underneath that read, “Funny how blowjobs impacted both their careers differently.”
“What would you say to the vice president of the United States about the comment that [Trump] reposted?” Hunt asked.
“Well, I saw the social media post,” Miller replied. “I have not discussed that with the president. I don’t know if the president even saw the comment that was on there or simply the picture.”
Miller then quickly pivoted to accuse Democrats of attacking Trump with even more vitriol, telling Hunt, “The attacks that have been levied by Kamala Harris’ campaign and by Harris’ allies against President Trump — not just recently but over the past year and a half, two years, ever since he came down the escalator, quite frankly—in the case of many leftist-centered people, have been quite horrific.”
Hunt asked Miller if he thought the criticisms against Trump have been “as horrific” as the image Trump had reposted. Miller replied, “Oh, a hundred times worse.”
“But they haven’t been sexual in nature in this way,” Hunt pointed out.
“Again, I haven’t discussed that with the president,” Miller said. “I don’t know if the president even saw the comment that was on there. That’s not something that I have asked.”
I don’t claim to be any exception. I’d just stueggule to call someone that répands that way “smart” without adding any qualifiers.
You know literally nothing about this person other than they are a woman, they hold 1 bad opinion you that know of, and that I qualified them as educated/intelligent. But please continue to lecture me about their cognitive faculties.
A lot of smart people hold a lot of wrong/bad ideas.
Hey man, I’m sorry, I was speaking more broadly about the type of person, rather than the specific individual, and I do need to work on my black-and-white thinking. Absolutely nothing to do with being a woman, the comment actually reminded me of a man in my life with similar views and I’ve had to come to the conclusion that I should value his opinions less.
Edit: also, I’d hardly call my two short comments (one I clearly didn’t proofread) a “lecture”.
That’s a concept I’ve had difficulty wrestling with
All good
