Trump: WH's Miller 'Destroyed' Tapper of 'Fake News CNN'
Newsmax ^ | 7 Jan 2018 | Eric Mack

Both sides are claiming victory in a Sunday national TV dustup between President Donald Trump, through pugnacious White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller, and "Jake Tapper of Fake News CNN," leading to the president and the TV host tweeting followups.

Tapper's interview turned combative as Miller ripped "garbage author of a garbage book" – Michael Wolff's "Fire and Fury" – and as the CNN "State of the Union" host questioned the truth in book's details and the role of Steve Bannon in the White House.

"Your network's been going 24/7 with all the salacious coverage, and I know it brings a lot of you guys a lot of joy to try to stick the knife in, but the reality is that page after page after page of the book is pure false," Miller told Tapper during a particularly heated exchange during the 12-minute appearance. "I see sections of the book where events I participated in are described — and I have first-hand knowledge — as they're described, they're completely and utterly fraudulent.

". . . You get 24 hours of negative anti-trump hysterical coverage on this network that led in recent weeks to spectacularly embarrassing false reporting."

President Trump tweeted twice following the exchange, supporting Miller, denouncing Tapper as a "CNN flunky," a vowing to win the argument of attacks in the media.

"It's tragic and unfortunate that Steve would make these grotesque comments so out of touch with reality and obviously so vindictive, and the whole White House staff is deeply disappointed in his comments, which were grotesque," Miller told Tapper before the conversation unraveled.

". . .And with respect to the Trump Tower meeting that [Bannon's] talking about [in Wolff's book], [Bannon] wasn't even there when any of this went down.

"It reads like an angry, vindictive person spouting off to a highly discreditable author. The book is best understood as a work of very poorly written fiction. And I also will say that the author is a garbage author of a garbage book. And the tragic thing about this — and there are many things about it that are unfortunate — but the portrayal of the president in the book is so contrary to reality, to the experience of those who work with him."

When Miller continued with his support of the president, Tapper cut him off saying "I get it: There's one viewer that you care about right now [referring to Trump], and you're being obsequious in order to please him. I think I've wasted enough of my viewers' time."~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~Anytime you have to resort to hanging up on someone to end a debate you've admitted you got your butt kicked...

They all want to be Bob Grant, but just can’t quite get it right. They cut off the caller when he’s speaking the truth; Grant cut off the caller(s) for spewing lies, propaganda and/or nonsense.

So when are you going to quit, Jake?

Yes, hyperbole like that wouldn’t be accepted in a middle school essay. In my day, that is. Dunno about now.

Not my favorite, but he had his moments. He had a caller claiming to be from Ethiopia when that was in the news for something, and he asked her what the biggest city in Ethiopia was. She said Addis Ababa, but then he asked her what the SECOND biggest city was, and she had no idea, and then he said something like "Get off my phone, you phony!" or some such.

Wolf and Tappers eyes looking a little funny. Maybe they are the ones who should seek psychiatric help.

I’m beginning to think CNN’s audience consists only of conservatives disputing their FAKENEWS.

That word “destroyed” seems to no longer have a meaning.

Miller has been destroying liberal creepozoids since he took on the liberal Creepozoids while he was a student at Santa Monica High School.
