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.

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

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.

Priceless. That reporter is a legend.
See how it’s done, ABC, CBS, CNN, NBC, NYT? It’s not complicated.

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

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

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

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

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.

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.

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

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.

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

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

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.
