Stephen Miller’s Hypocrisy Is Right There in His Speech (www.theatlantic.com)

Yesterday, Stephen Miller delivered a eulogy for Charlie Kirk that served as a battle cry for the Trump administration’s state-sponsored war on his perceived foes—a war for which Miller is the primary strategist. The speech was a jarring piece of rhetoric. It is a perfect encapsulation of the ethos of Trumpism, boiling away the president’s idiosyncratic habits of mixing insult comedy and weird digressions into his rhetoric and leaving, in Miller’s tongue, the residue of pure ideology and will to power.

Miller’s theme was that President Donald Trump’s side embodies pure good, his opponents pure evil, and the former is destined to utterly destroy the latter. Republicans have never stopped complaining that Hillary Clinton once described a portion of Trump’s base as “a basket of deplorables.” Yet over the weekend the president’s most powerful adviser depicted half the country as worthless, irredeemably wicked, and fated for destruction.

If Miller had his way about it, they'd already be bulldozing leftists into mass graves.

[–] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 8 points 7 months ago

“Leftists” = everyone the fascists don’t agree with. Which is nearly everyone. So be prepared to be a leftist soon.

Reminder--this guy lost his shit on the air one time and it was fucking hilarious:https://youtu.be/BW4XLBCGLH8

[–] AcidiclyBasicGlitch@sh.itjust.works 38 points 7 months ago

That is beautiful, and that reporter handled that perfectly. He should hold workshops.

Just so calmly "Why are you yelling?" Then "You don't have numbers."

Way to not let that squealing asshole deflect and take control of the narrative. You ask your very reasonable question, and you simply refuse to engage with any of the bullshit he throws at you. He spent almost 5 mins trying to throw every talking point he could think of at that guy to get him off track rather than just answering the question.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@quokk.au 30 points 7 months ago

What a great reporter.

"You have not replied my question." lmao

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 18 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Priceless. That reporter is a legend.

See how it’s done, ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, NYT? It’s not complicated.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 7 months ago

if they are not directed by the right wing CEO of those MSMs/news, that is.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.dbzer0.com 10 points 7 months ago

Seemingly coked up to the gills too, just like his hero Goebbels 😄

No he's watching his wife and her bull apparently.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@quokk.au 17 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago) (1 children)

What the FUCK

And just so the audience is aware, you are married to Stephen Miller, so you are the envy of all women,” Watters said. “What is that like?”

“The sexual matador, right?” she answered.

“What is it like being married to such a sexual matador?” a laughing Watters, who gave Miller the stomach-turning label last year, asked.

“He is an incredibly inspiring man who gets me going in the morning with his speeches being like, ‘Let’s start the day. I am going to defeat the left and we are going to win.’” she said. “He wakes up the day ready to carry out the mission that President Trump was elected to do.”

Edit: It's so much worse, and it continues from there: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RiotjMPo5rQ

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I was making fun of the specific choice of wording, and possible additional layer of hypocrisy... but Jesus Christ. I'm not sure if that's better or worse honestly.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@quokk.au 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

It's so, so much worse. It's incredibly bizarre, and Katie Miller's eerie lack of offense-taking at the whole thing just makes it extra frightening. I do think she's uncomfortable, you can see it a little bit, but mostly she's just smiling and smoothly deflecting to some safe topic of conversation. It's so fucking bizarre. Watters finishes up by talking about bringing in cameras so everyone can see what it looks like when her and Stephen are fucking.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 7 months ago (1 children)

and WATTERS himself is also a creep, and he "Dennised" a girl at fox before.

[–] PhilipTheBucket@quokk.au 1 points 7 months ago

When did this happen?

[–] resipsaloquitur@lemmy.world 6 points 7 months ago

Given his hangups on race, we know what color that bull is.

[–] Kurious84@lemmings.world 22 points 7 months ago (1 children)

He's the Nazi whose face melts off at the end of Indiana jones.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 7 months ago

wont he be the first, since hes jewish, and Nazis love to take out collaborators first.

[–] grue@lemmy.world 12 points 7 months ago

As I wrote in another comment today:

Blatant hypocrisy is a feature. It helps sort the sycophants from the future concentration camp residents.

[–] frongt@lemmy.zip 9 points 7 months ago

Yeah? And? Their hypocrisy has been on full display for years now. It doesn't fucking matter. Get involved in your local community, in whatever form that takes for you. You might need to stand with your neighbors soon.

[–] 7toed@midwest.social 6 points 7 months ago

Rhetoric my ass, he was paraphrasing a certain german speech by a certain Joeseph Goebbels.

[–] MantisToboggon@lazysoci.al 6 points 7 months ago

Also his actions.

[–] MuskyMelon@lemmy.world 5 points 7 months ago

I'd have traded Charlie Kirk for Stephen Miller any day and twice on Tuesday.

[–] Shamber@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I always wondered if he's actually human 🤔

Leukemia Lex Luthor is a monumental dipshit

[–] WindyRebel@lemmy.world 1 points 7 months ago

I love this for the visual, but hate it for people that suffer from Leukemia. I upvoted it though because he’s a douche and deserves to be referred to as a disease.
