Stephen Miller insults Andrew Weissmann on Fox News

thedailybeast.com

Stephen Miller, a former advisor to Donald Trump, had a heated exchange on Fox News on Monday. He was responding to a question about Trump's use of an old law to deport migrants. The question came from host Martha MacCallum, who cited an argument from MSNBC's Andrew Weissmann. Instead of directly answering the question, Miller launched into a furious attack on Weissmann. He called him an "absolute moron" and criticized him for his past work as a prosecutor. Miller claimed Weissmann worked to imprison innocent people and accused him of being part of a conspiracy against Trump during the 2016 election. As MacCallum tried to steer the conversation back, Miller continued his tirade. He defended Trump's decision to deport Venezuelan migrants using the Alien Enemies Act from 1798. Miller insisted that he was committed to protecting American lives and dismissed Weissmann's views. This incident marks the second time in recent weeks that Miller has lost his temper on live television. Earlier, he had to be calmed down during an interview on CNN. On the same day as the Fox News segment, a federal judge ordered the White House to explain its actions regarding the deportation of Venezuelan migrants. The administration responded by saying the judge's orders were "not enforceable."
