Tapper just abruptly cut off Steve Miller on CNN #SOTU after calling him obsequious and saying he "wasted enough of our viewers' time." Miller kept avoiding questions, repeating himself and belittling CNN's coverage. Tapper said Miller had only one viewer he was concerned about.
Jake Tapper to Stephen Miller: I think Ive wasted enough of my viewers time.

Miller also called Bannons comments grotesque and defended President Donald Trumps claim that he is a genius. Which happens to be a true statement, Miller said.
Miller ducked Tappers other questions about Trumps recent tweets, Bannons influence on Trumps presidency and policy and a New York Times report in September 2017 that Miller in May helped compose a list of reasons to fire James Comey as director of the FBI.
I get it. Theres one viewer that you care about right now and youre being obsequious, youre being a factotum in order to please him, okay? Tapper finally interjected. And I think Ive wasted enough of my viewers time.

(12,448 posts)If Trump wanted/demanded to be defended, Miller was the worst possible person to do it. He comes off as sycophantic, rude and demented. Of course, Trump does demand ridiculously high, over the top praise, so Miller is who he wants defending him. (See also: Kellyanne Conway)

(28,287 posts)as a "self-made billionaire." Miller got to make that ridiculous claim, at least twice.
Tapper should have shit-canned this little weasel a lot sooner than he did. He got to spew his filth for far too long.

Miller had his say for 12 minutes. It was more than enough.

(9,350 posts)I guess I should have said Trump supporters are crazy in that it is likely Trump supporters more than Republicans who are seeing this interview as a win for Trump. This interview was not a win for Trump. It made Stephen Miller look unhinged, stupid, childish, and ridiculous. On the other hand, it made Jake Tapper look all the more professional. I did not need to see the Trump tweet to think Tapper was right to say that Miller was trying to please only one person. Looking at that interview I came away with the same conclusion as Tapper.
