"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.
Hats off to how professionally calm José María kept his voice on the follow up questions, making it clear that Miller was pretending to be outraged. A calm question after an angry rant meant Miller would start quiet again and have to dial his pretend rage back up. You could see Miller catch himself not being angry enough!
Fantastic!
