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.”

Jake Tapper and the rest of the clown show media are knowingly lying. The press briefing at the White House today specifically address these lies.
🤣
Jake ‘tapper’.....fidiot! 😭😭😭😭. 50 million for condoms for Gaza is okay? Especially when they “weaponize” them using helium to float them over the check points.
Truth means nothing to them. The filthy dirty politics of power is all they care about.
The key word for legacy media today is ‘confusion’.
They are the ones, ‘confused’.
IMHO the idiot judge has no authority to stop Trump other than to declare Trump’s actions unconstitutional, which I do not see.
Trump needs to ignore the judge saying they do not have that authority.
Yup.
The administration should close the press room doors to the fake news pukes and open them wide ONLY to the podcast, influencers etc. I don’t get why Trump doesn’t do that. We don’t need them. Look at the way they acted today that should be a wake up call they’re never going to change. And they’re never going to like Trump. They want to destroy him a second time around and they’re getting more vicious and their hatred is deep. Let them stew in their own vomit and let their networks burn to the ground. It is time to fight the media pukes and don’t give them 1 inch or a seat in the press room. Instead it should be first come first serve and just let all the podcasts and influencers have first seating. Why the hell not? We took eight years of abuse from these communist bastards they don’t deserve a seat at the banquet table!
I think that today’s press briefing was the single warning. Caroline said she expects the press corps to be honest, and I think anyone who doesn’t toe the line will be expelled. JMHO
I didn’t catch this part of the interview, but the part about the illegal raids was also excellent.
Saying that the party that invariably supports the growth of the federal government is overwhelmingly supported by the federal workforce and private federal contractors that benefit from the growth isn’t demonizing anyone. It’s reality and human nature.

Trump LOVES New Yawk and the legacy media IS New Yawk.
It is his Achilles Heal and we are going to have to deal with it.
“Ok, that is the last time you’re gonna pull that crap! You hear me? Do you hear me?”

I agree. The executive branch has been given an injunction by the federal court and the executive branch should be able to fast track, immediately, any injunction to a higher court.
Yea, sure he does and sure we do.
It will be upheld by the DC Circuit. It will have to go to the Supreme Court, but Roberts and his 4 gals with either not hear it or if they do, side with the injunction.
“NOW JUST HOLD ON THAR A COTTON PICKIN’ MINUTE YA GOT IT ALL WRONG!
“I SAY, I SAY LOOK AT ME WHEN I’M TALKIN’ TO YA BOY!
(This kid’s so dumb he thinks the Canadian border pays rent!’’)
When did the spelling of “whoa” change to “woah”?
