Trump advisor Stephen Miller lost control during an interview with CNN anchor Brianna Keilar, and the internet is cheering for his downfall.
Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff for policy and homeland security advisor, raised his voice and patronized Keilar when she pressed him about the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE) and the Trump administration’s deep cuts to the federal government.
Clips from the interview are going viral on social media, with people praising Keilar for keeping her cool as Miller talked to her like she was a child, laughed at her questions, and yelled at her. Keilar asked Miller to clarify who was responsible for the firing of federal government employees since President Donald Trump took office, and he tried to dodge the question before losing his cool. “You may assert there’s no waste in the Pentagon!” he said. “You may assert there’s no waste in Treasury! You may assert—”
“Oh, Stephen, I’m not asserting, [I] don’t think anyone would assert that, Stephen,” Keilar interjected while Miller talked over her.
“Then why are you not celebrating these cuts? If you agree there is waste, if you agree there is abuse, if you agree there is corruption, why are you not celebrating the cuts, the reforms that are being instituted?” Miller yelled. “Every day that no action is taken the entire salary of American workers that are taxed disappears forever.” But Keller managed to keep her cool even while Miller continued to raise his voice, “Stephen, let’s calm down. We’re not having a debate—”
“Well, you are clearly trying to debate me!” Miller shouted. “And I will be… as excited as I want to be about the fact that we are saving Americans billions of dollars.”
This exchange continued with Miller evading questions about Elon Musk’s role in the government and explaining how the government works as though Keilar was a child and not a seasoned journalist. And the internet had a field day with it, calling Miller a “delicate little snowflake” and “Temu Goebels” for flipping out live on CNN.
