"Why are you yelling?” the reporter asked as Trump’s senior adviser refused to clarify the source of information he was spreading about Venezuela’s crime rate.
Trump senior adviser Stephen Miller had an on-camera meltdown after being asked by a journalist to back up questionable claims he was making about Venezuela’s crime rate, video of the episode posted to social media shows.
The four-minute video shows an emotional Miller yelling at NTN24 reporter José María del Pino on Tuesday after del Pino questioned Miller over his claims that Venezuela has become safer than the United States because its convicts are now all in the U.S.
Miller also repeated a since-debunked story that a Venezuelan gang has taken over Colorado apartment complexes.
Are most Republicans in the States so emotionally unstable and easy to manipulate, or is this guy an outlier?
I don’t know what his professional role is, but if he’s a public speaker he should probably be fired. That was embarrassing to watch.
Stephen Miller is an advisor to Trump and is probably a psychopath. I don’t use that label lightly either.
When a normal person gets genuinely angry, their facial expressions and body language convey the anger too. It’s a natural reaction humans have when experiencing emotions and it’s tough to hide or fake.
Stephen Miller raises his voice, he uses an indignant tone, he makes aggressive motions with his body, but his face shows no change in expression at all. It’s not just this clip either, he’s like this all the time. He’s generally good at lying and changing topics during normal interviews, but he was cornered here and fell back to “pretend to be angry and change the topic.” Clearly this reporter was having none of it.
I just watched the clip again and you’re totally right. When I watched the first time, it was like an uncanny valley thing - it was mostly human but something was still really off.
This dude’s entire family publicly disowned him after some of the things he said and did during Trump’s first term
Even his family wants nothing to do with him
