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.”
Why would a Trump advisor discuss it with Biden? Does Jason Miller have dementia?
Tap for spoiler
Yes I know about the convention of addressing former presidents as “president.” Trump does not fucking deserve that courtesy, not even the slightest bit!
Wouldn’t the next question be “if he’s unable to process or notice that a single simple caption under the image exists, how could he be trusted to process information pertinent to running a nation?”
He is straight up illiterate. I watched a video where an actor working with him on some show said he couldn’t read his lines - he insisted on making up his own lines.
It’s worth adding that not only did he not write his famous book The Art of the Deal, he’s never even read it.
Unfortunately bigotry is what his voters are looking for. Posting bigoted content and then lying when he is caught is what they want to see.
Sure but why let the spoke person skate with such a ridiculous answer?
I cannot think of an answer beyond journalistic bankruptcy.
It’s a title, used like “President Obama.” I don’t think normal people say “the president” about former ones. This is weird conduct.
