CNN host Jake Tapper clashed with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller on Tuesday over President Donald Trump’s government spending freeze.
Defending Trump’s order to freeze hundreds of billions of dollars in government spending – which was blocked by U.S. District Court Judge Loren AliKhan on Tuesday – Miller declared, “President Trump, when he said ‘drain the swamp,’ he meant it.
And yes, so those kinds of spending programs are going to be put under review.”
Tapper responded:
"Okay. I don’t think anybody’s taking issue with if you find money that is being disbursed in an inappropriate way, halting it. I think what the confusion is is this seemed to a lot of groups and a lot of states – Republicans, Democrats, independents – like a very sweeping order and there is confusion. I just want to make sure I understand. So anybody out there that provides school lunches, anybody out there–"
“There’s zero impact on public benefit programs, full stop, as OMB has made clear,” Miller interrupted. “But I want to really drill down on this, Jake, because it’s so important. There’s two million employees in the federal government. Overwhelmingly, the career federal service in this country is far-left, left-wing.”

Biden judge. Squeaked by on a 50/50 vote with the VP breaking the tie. Given the outrageous tyranny the DC Circuit unleashed upon the Patriots who protested the stolen election Congress should dissolve that court and let Trump pick all their replacements.
Trump needs to go Andrew Jackson on the court system. Or what Biden did on Student Loans.
miller time.
Spar? First minute knockout more like it.
Constipated Jake has DEAD EYES!
Stephen Miller was absolutely awesome. Tapper looked like the fool he is.
“The key word for legacy media today is ‘confusion’. They are the ones, ‘confused’.
Yup.”
Just don’t call on them in press conferences. Don’t go on their Sunday shows. They should be doing podcasts, Twitter shows and anything which the legacy media claims isn’t good for America.
I would rather listen to and watch Joe Rogan speak with Tom Homan than watch Jake Tapper do the interview. Plus, no one under the age of 50 watches any of the legacy news networks with the exception of Fox. And Fox has more liberals watching than CNN and MSNBC combined.
Woah?
Woah!
“Defending Trump’s order to freeze hundreds of billions of dollars in government spending – which was blocked by U.S. District Court Judge Loren AliKhan on Tuesday – “
Only the USSC can issue a nationwide judgment. This puny, egomaniacal judge needs to be removed ASAP via impeachment. Trump needs to tell this fascist punk to ESAD.
