President Trump’s new White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller completely dismantled CNN anchor Jake Tapper on live TV today.
Jake Tapper tried to ask Stephen Miller a ‘gotcha’ question about illegal immigration, pushing the MSM narrative that deporting illegal aliens will increase the price of groceries because we ‘need’ them to work in the fields.
And, it went about as well as you might have guessed…with Stephen Miller calmly and brilliantly shutting down Tapper’s “Who’s going to pick the crops?” propaganda.
Miller expertly navigated Tapper’s line of questioning, not letting CNN get the soundbite they obviously were after.
You’ve gotta see this…
Grab your popcorn and watch for yourself:
Hi. Want to see a murder on live TV?
I give you White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller vs. Jake Tapper on CNN.
Tapper said we need illegals here to pick our crops.
Then, Fatality…

🔥HOLY SMOKES: @StephenM just scorched a combative Jake Tapper and his “who’s going to pick the crops!" propaganda:
"Well, I mean, I'm sure it's not your position, Jake. You're just asking the question that we should supply America's food with exploitative, illegal alien labor.… pic.twitter.com/dhBsJpN59W

JUST IN: Stephen Miller shuts down CNN's Jake Tapper after he tried asking a "gotcha" question on illegal immigration, Miller says he can stay for 30 minutes explaining the topic so Tapper can understand.
I missed these interviews.

Fox News commented:
White House Homeland Security advisor Stephen Miller locked horns with CNN host Jake Tapper on Tuesday, arguing liberal news organizations have misrepresented the Trump administration’s freeze of certain federal funds.
The Office of Management and Budget issued a memo on Monday pausing all federal grants and loans inconsistent with the president’s executive orders to eradicate “wokeness” and the “weaponization of government.”
However, a White House official told Fox News Digital that the memo was initially “misreported” and does not constitute a funding freeze on federal financial assistance across the board.
Tapper pressed Miller to answer for the uncertainty surrounding the guidance, asking whether Medicaid and Meals on Wheels were going to be affected, although both had been confirmed to be exempt earlier in the day.
Miller argued that any confusion about the memo was “created by the media,” and said, “The OMB guidance memo, if you read it, is as clear as day.”
He emphasized the freeze does not apply to entitlements or other services the government is required to provide, saying, “It does not affect any service to citizens, it does not affect any individual benefit, any public assistance program or anything of that nature.”
“I can‘t help it if left-wing media outlets published a fake news story that caused confusion,” Miller said.
“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” Tapper said, pointing to Republicans who have also acknowledged confusion about the memo.
ADVERTISEMENTTapper said the order is “pretty broad and confusingly written” and the confusion about it cannot just be blamed on the “liberal media.”
“A false story was put out that people responded to,” Miller argued.
Buckle up, folks.
I have a feeling that the next four years are going to be full of humiliating moments like these for the MSM.
Take a look at these great responses from folks on X:
The next four years will be glorious.

The media has no idea what they are dealing with this time around.
It’s not 2016 anymore.
We’re *unapologetically* taking our country back.

Stephen Miller is one of the few who won’t let media spin derail the conversation. Tapper wanted a “gotcha” moment, but Miller came armed with facts. The reality is illegal immigration isn’t just about agriculture. It’s about major cities being overwhelmed, social services being…
