Stephen Miller, Trump advisor, absolutely loses his mind when journalist José María Del Pino asks him where he gets his information about Venezuela’s supposed low crimes rates.

      The journalist asked him a very simple yes or no question and he screamed while refusing to answer it. How did he win the exchange? He acted like a baby. He even kept insisting that the journalist answer a yes or no question repeatedly.

      This is not what a winner looks like in a discussion with a journalist:

          Why do I always need to explain to people that Trump needs a lot more than just the MAGA faithful to win? It doesn’t matter what the loyalists think.

        Exactly, he’s getting the attention that he wants, he’s in the headlines, you’re talking about it. Stop giving these people headlines.

            Journalists will do whatever gets engagement to show numbers to advertisers and this kind of crap gets engagement as seen here. Whenever you engage with this type of content you are giving these people a platform to spout nonsense and lies.

      What are you talking about? The only possible scenario your interpretation makes sense is of you are one of those people who think yelling louder wins the argument

        Well 46% of registered voters do. Which is just one of a hundred disappointing things about the electorate.

          By that low bar then, there is nothing special in the video either. It’s not like journalists own the only cameras and access to the internet and accidentally let Miller spew vitriol

          Maga mouths can always do that freely, openly and unchallenged on their own. The fact that a simple question made Miller lose his shit and throw a tantrum may not disuade the morons but it definitely is not a win either
