Stephen Miller ridiculed after his 'moronic' comment seen as permission to 'beat him up'

White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller was ridiculed over the weekend after one of his interview answers was seen as an argument in favor of beating him up.



One prominent responder was fellow Republican, Rep. Don Bacon, who chimed in, "This is 1890s thinking. He evidently doesn’t know about WW2 and the Cold War, and America’s role. Might does not make right. Right makes might."



Author John Fugelsang noted, "Stephen Miller gives the moral-logic argument for bigger, stronger men to beat up Stephen Miller and take his stuff."

Spent most of his life insulating himself from reality & has convinced himself he's the only smart one.
But, he can't be the only smart one because there's no evidence he's smart at all.

muttering to himself in a straight jacket, but this lunatic has the ear of the POTUS, so the rest of us have to hear it too. Might doesn't make right is a lesson most of us learned very early in life. For some reason, it didn't take with Stephen Miller. He must have been very sheltered or he's stupid. I guess both could be true.

So it would seem he’d also condone a gang (or is it covey?) of Mar-a-Lago plaid-plumed golfers pantsing him in the locker room, ripping “his” Nobel prize from under his shirt (you just KNOW he’s wearing it) and giving him the swirly he so richly deserves.

Get “skip the line” reservations early. They will go fast!

Justice matters.

don't impeach them if they invade Minnesota? How's that logical?
