Trump advisor Jason Miller stopped by CNN This Morning on Thursday, and was left squirming when anchor Kasie Hunt confronted him about Donald Trump’s recent Truth Social post that featured a screenshot of an image of younger Kamala Harris smiling next to Hillary Clinton, with a caption underneath that read, “Funny how blowjobs impacted both their careers differently.”
“What would you say to the vice president of the United States about the comment that [Trump] reposted?” Hunt asked.
“Well, I saw the social media post,” Miller replied. “I have not discussed that with the president. I don’t know if the president even saw the comment that was on there or simply the picture.”
Miller then quickly pivoted to accuse Democrats of attacking Trump with even more vitriol, telling Hunt, “The attacks that have been levied by Kamala Harris’ campaign and by Harris’ allies against President Trump — not just recently but over the past year and a half, two years, ever since he came down the escalator, quite frankly—in the case of many leftist-centered people, have been quite horrific.”
Hunt asked Miller if he thought the criticisms against Trump have been “as horrific” as the image Trump had reposted. Miller replied, “Oh, a hundred times worse.”
“But they haven’t been sexual in nature in this way,” Hunt pointed out.
“Again, I haven’t discussed that with the president,” Miller said. “I don’t know if the president even saw the comment that was on there. That’s not something that I have asked.”

What’s up with these Facebook level “meme” responses. Just type the fucking words you don’t need to make it an image
Removed by mod
internet pictures should only be pornography. everything else should be text
We postin’ cat pictures?
We’ll accept this.
Hey, cats are fine, too.
And pornography with cats in the background or just lying around is the best of both worlds.
Not far enough.
Only ASCII porn.
Hey, you don’t get to decide what kind of images rev my engine!
Now if you’ll excuse me, I need some alone time with text on a generic background…
Why can’t the pornography also be text?
8========D~~~~
That’s more like it!
( o )( o )
¯\(ツ)/¯
𓂺
I undersrabd that way they are more easy to share on some apps, but I don’t like that they don’t work for blind users and if people would properly add the alt text anyway, there’s no point of uploading the image any more
Figures you’re the kind of fucker who’d think trump being a rapist is a brag cx how does it feel knowing all there is to your personality is trying to own the libs? I bet it’s sad and lonely :3
wtf? did you even read what you’re so angrily replying to?
Yep, this person is a magat weirdo. Look them up in the modlog, they posted this shit on a post about trump and got really upset that others don’t like trump
Haha yes, downvote me for pointing out magats when they’re trying to pretend they’re normal, this will surely accomplish something other than other than making the internet more of a fascist hellhole
Oh, a hundred times worse.
!!!
What an absolute despicable liar.
Arguably the worst thing Harris has called Trump is “felon”, and that is true.But next Jason Miller will probably claim that because it’s true it’s worse, and Trump is crying himself to sleep every night over it, because he is such a spoiled cry baby.
Why didn’t the anchor ask him to name an example
What?! Do actual journalism?
Because CNN was bought out to destroy its journalism. Same thing that happened to Twitter - they’re buying up all sources of information so that they can control the narrative.
Yes they are generally too soft on these assholes and their far out claims.
He’s not lying. He just doesn’t think sexism is a problem.
Isn’t that the point in the interview, after Jason Miller says that the Harris campaign did something 100x worse, when you tell Miller that since he knows something that much worse, he should give an actual example?
The interview is OK, although they could have been more direct on that.
Jason Miller is still a despicable liar.“I don’t know if he even saw the comment” implies he thinks Trump would post a smiling picture of K&H with no context. Yea, that sounds like him
There’s no way this isn’t 100% misogyny by Weird 34. Another example to throw on the mountainous heap.
That’s an excellent point, obviously Trump wouldn’t do that ever.
She also called him weird which, based on their responses, I can only conclude is the modern equivalent of being stripped naked in the public square and forced to dance upon hot coals while being prodded with iron spikes by the King’s guard.
there’s a difference between acknowledging a fact and calling someone a name
“Well, I saw the social media post,” Miller replied. “I have not discussed that with the president. I don’t know if the president even saw the comment that was on there or simply the picture.”
Why would a Trump advisor discuss it with Biden? Does Jason Miller have dementia?
Tap for spoiler
Yes I know about the convention of addressing former presidents as “president.” Trump does not fucking deserve that courtesy, not even the slightest bit!
Wouldn’t the next question be “if he’s unable to process or notice that a single simple caption under the image exists, how could he be trusted to process information pertinent to running a nation?”
He is straight up illiterate. I watched a video where an actor working with him on some show said he couldn’t read his lines - he insisted on making up his own lines.
It’s worth adding that not only did he not write his famous book The Art of the Deal, he’s never even read it.
Unfortunately bigotry is what his voters are looking for. Posting bigoted content and then lying when he is caught is what they want to see.
Sure but why let the spoke person skate with such a ridiculous answer?
I cannot think of an answer beyond journalistic bankruptcy.
It’s a title, used like “President Obama.” I don’t think normal people say “the president” about former ones. This is weird conduct.
Emily Post’s Etiquette (the standard for people who dine regularly with multiple forks) says addressing former Presidents this way is incorrect.
https://emilypost.com/advice/addressing-a-former-president-of-the-united-states
It carves out a slight exception for informal settings, but still advises against.
I agree. I think “Mr. Obama” is appropriate 2017 and onward. But like is noted there, “President Obama,” is still at least a common mistake, I could see how that extends into formal settings as well.
I don’t think “the president” is common. Nor a mistake, coming from that source.
I’d probably address him as Dr. over Mr., despite knowing that generally even presidents with a doctorate get Mr.
Don’t forget that CNN has shifted with the Overton Window to the right.
CNN is just about what Faux News was when it first launched. They pander to both sides but just a little more to the right.
some details for anyone unaware that this has been gradually happening since they got bought a few years ago. Class war is a removed when they own all the media.
There is an author that wrote a book about 20 years ago that was his mea culpa for helping CNN to create the shout show format. I’m not sure they’ve ever really been even half as “liberal” as the unhinged right wing claims.
Jon Stewart’s appearance on Crossfire was also 20 years ago now.
Yes, good point. I was going to mention that Firing Line with Bill F’ing Buckley was on PBS long before then, too. And PBS is supposedly the network of Karl Marx, if you are to believe the unhinged right wing.
And that’s after Buckley called Vidal a queer and threatened him with violence.
Firing Line is something the people at CNN were most likely influence by. I wish I could remember the name of that book and the name of the person that wrote it, but I bet they even said something about Firing Line.
In any case, this stuff has been going on for a very long time, on my supposedly “liberal media” television stations…LOL.
Amazing. His defense is that trump maybe just shared a sexed up, generated image of Harris without reading the caption. What a creep.
Trump also blamed others for the Arlington scandal.
“I want to run the whole country, but I don’t take responsibility for any of my own actions”.
Fucking hell! I was so confused why this guy needed to talk to Biden. It’s ex-president or if you’re being detailed felon, rapist, racist, pedophile, twice impeached, ex-president.
Defeated former president.
Every other presidential candidate election during my lifetime has conceded. He was resoundingly defeated.
I hate watching mainstream US news media. No push back to blatant lies. Instead they sit and smile. Instead of fair and balance we should strive for facts. I don’t give a shit that left or right has the same amount to talk, I care what they are saying is factual.
I hate it as well. These large media outlets have suffered complete journalistic bankruptcy.
Well, I coulda been an actor, but I wound up here,
I just have to look good, I don’t have to be clear,
Come and whisper in my ear,
Give us dirty laundry
I don’t know if the president even saw the comment that was on there
In a lot of ways, Trump is a lazy and unserious person. But I do not believe for a second that he was not aware of what was being posted on his social media. That is his greatest obsession.
And “Despite the constant [obsession] covfefe.”
Newsflash: Trump advisor Jason Miller says Trump doesn’t know what he is doing.
Woah, that’s a big one. He’s just flushing his campaign down the toilet. I love it.
It seems like every other day, Trump does something that would have been absolutely career-ending for anyone else. I think he’s kept his campaign from going down the toilet by just making sure it was completely clogged.
Trump operates by slowly moving the bar. He incrementally pushes the boundaries of acceptability, to the point that now nothing is surprising anymore. As a result, he can do these things that should be career ending, because his supporters laugh it off and his detractors, disgusted as they may be, still expect this behavior from Trump.
You would think that, but I just listened to an extended family member the other day talking about how “Harris slept her way to the top,“ and it’s comments like his going around that reinforce this idea.
You’d be surprised how effective these “a lot of people are saying” comments can be. You just put up the scaffolding, the pundits start over interpreting and adding general statements that are lies but too broad to be easily pinned down, YouTubers and breitbart and such amplify it and make it way worse for the fringes, and then millions of people just roll with it.
Bear in mind the person who said that to me is an intelligent, educated woman. But her partisan lean is so heavy she just accepts stuff like that.
My own mother “chose” to believe misleading Fox stats on officer-involved shootings after I did a web search and provided a much higher number. She said that. “I’m choosing to believe…”. You don’t need to convince me of how much people will delude themselves.
It takes courage to accept you’ve been conned by a Weird Grifter from New York.
the person who said that to me is an intelligent, educated woman. But her partisan lean is so heavy she just accepts stuff like that.
Kind of an oxymoron.
Smart people aren’t immune to emotional decisions and if you think you’re the exception then you’re not smart.
I don’t claim to be any exception. I’d just stueggule to call someone that répands that way “smart” without adding any qualifiers.
You know literally nothing about this person other than they are a woman, they hold 1 bad opinion you that know of, and that I qualified them as educated/intelligent. But please continue to lecture me about their cognitive faculties.
A lot of smart people hold a lot of wrong/bad ideas.
Hey man, I’m sorry, I was speaking more broadly about the type of person, rather than the specific individual, and I do need to work on my black-and-white thinking. Absolutely nothing to do with being a woman, the comment actually reminded me of a man in my life with similar views and I’ve had to come to the conclusion that I should value his opinions less.
Edit: also, I’d hardly call my two short comments (one I clearly didn’t proofread) a “lecture”.
A lot of smart people hold a lot of wrong/bad ideas.
That’s a concept I’ve had difficulty wrestling with
All good
Yeah, but Trump famously needs to flush eight or ten times to actually get anything to go down the toilet.
Those gold toilets must be real crap.
I don’t know that it’s fair to say the attacks on Trump haven’t been sexual in nature, I mean, he is an adjududicated rapist.

There’s a difference between discussing someone’s sexual crimes and sexualizing that person.
Does this count as sexualizing Trump?
Some of Ben Garrison’s drawings of Trump would make Tom of Finland blush.
These BS artists just spew lie after lie as a jumping off point to the question, and don’t even try to answer the question.
I don’t know if the president even saw the comment that was on there or simply the picture.
Hmmm… Maybe his advanced age might have something to do with his not being fully aware or in control of his actions?
Weird dude with a weird head
