Summary

Trump adviser Stephen Miller erupted on Fox News after MSNBC analyst Andrew Weissmann criticized Trump’s invocation of the Alien Enemies Act to deport migrants as possibly unconstitutional.

Miller called Weissmann “an absolute moron,” “a fool,” and “a degenerate,” claiming he “shills for people who rape and murder Americans.”

When host Martha MacCallum noted both could express opinions, Miller shouted that he’d “defend American lives” while Weissmann “can defend illegal alien rapists, terrorists and predators.”

This continues Miller’s pattern of televised outbursts, including previous incidents on CNN and reactions to SNL jokes about Trump.

      Maybe so but it doesn’t sound like he punched that Nazi bitch in the face, which he should have done. People should not generally be comfortable insulting someone to their face like that. Fighting Words are a legal defense for assault and battery FYI.

        Don’t bet on it. The Supreme Court’s definition of fighting words is so narrow that none of Miller’s squealing and babbling would quality.

        I’m pretty sure Weissmann knows what he can and cannot do under the law.
