For the past year, CNN has had virtually 24 hours of anti-Trump coverage.
To try to attack Trump further they had one of Trump’s top advisers on one of their shows.
But CNN immediately regretted that after he took a sledgehammer to their news desk.
Stephen Miller is the White House senior adviser.
Miller has been involved in the Trump campaign since the beginning, and is extremely knowledgeable of the early aspects of the campaign, since he was there.
So when CNN host Jake Tapper started quoting Michael Wolff’s new book about the Trump campaign, Miller was ready for battle.
Tapper attempted to claim President Trump met with Russian lawyers during the June 2016 meeting with Donald Trump Jr., quoting Steve Bannon as his proof.
Miller immediately went into attack mode, calling Tapper condescending, and mentioning the fact that CNN has 24 hours a day of anti-Trump material.
In the end, before cutting off the interview, Tapper attempted to claim that President Trump is the only viewer that Miller cares about.
As reported by Real Clear Politics:
“CNN host Jake Tapper clashed with White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller Sunday over claims from “Fire & Fury: Inside The Trump White House,” Michael Wolff’s new book about President Trump’s campaign, presidential transition, and administration. Trump tweeted that Miller “destroyed” the “CNN flunky” Tapper.
Jake Tapper of Fake News CNN just got destroyed in his interview with Stephen Miller of the Trump Administration. Watch the hatred and unfairness of this CNN flunky!

On Sunday’s ‘State of the Union,’ Miller launched a tirade about CNN’s ‘Fake News’ status and said the president succeeds because he reaches out to people who CNN cannot “connect with.”
“In the toxic environment that you have created here on CNN and cable news, which is a real crisis of legitimacy on your network, and we saw it with the extremely fake news you reported about the Don Jr./WikiLeaks story, that was a huge embarrassment for your network, just like it was a huge embarrassment for your network,” Miller said.
I’ve had to put up with the Fake News from the first day I announced that I would be running for President. Now I have to put up with a Fake Book, written by a totally discredited author. Ronald Reagan had the same problem and handled it well. So will I!

“I’m getting to the issue of [your network’s] fitness. The president’s tweets absolutely reaffirm the plain-spoken truth: A self-made billionaire, revolutionized reality TV, and tapped into something magical that his happening the heart of people in this country. The people that you don’t connect with and understand. The people whose manufacturing jobs have left, the people who have been besieged by high crime communities, and who have been affected by a policy of uncontrolled immigration. Those people and those voices and experiences don’t get covered on this network,” he said.”
Stephen Miller represented the silent majority of Americans that CNN is desperately attempting to claim don’t exist.
Nothing infuriates CNN more than a well-articulated argument in favor of the President.
