CNN Host Kate Bolduan Defends Stephen Miller From Guest Calling Him a 'White Nationalist' [View all]

I don't know if you want to call Stephen Miller a white nationalist,’ the CNN host said in the name of ‘civility.’

In an apparent attempt to demonstrate objectivity and civility, CNN host Kate Bolduan on Monday defended perhaps the most demonized member of the Trump administration.

Bolduan was speaking with prominent immigration attorney David Leopold, when he said, “I have no doubt that this administration, Donald Trump, who advised by a white nationalist, Stephen Miller in the White House.” At that moment, she cut him off.

“I don’t know if you want to go as far as—I mean, let’s not—I just did an entire segment about civility here,” Bolduan told him. “I don’t know if you want to call Stephen Miller a white nationalist.”

Leopold responded, “It’s not an uncivil thing, I would argue that it’s a fact.”
