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.”

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?

[-] andros_rex@lemmy.world 10 points 3 months ago

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.

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 4 points 3 months ago

Yes they are generally too soft on these assholes and their far out claims.

[-] SteveFromMySpace@lemmy.blahaj.zone 21 points 3 months ago

He’s not lying. He just doesn’t think sexism is a problem.

[-] logicbomb@lemmy.world 18 points 3 months ago

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?

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 3 points 3 months ago

The interview is OK, although they could have been more direct on that.
Jason Miller is still a despicable liar.

[-] Toto@lemmy.world 12 points 3 months ago

“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

[-] bradinutah@thelemmy.club 4 points 3 months ago

There's no way this isn't 100% misogyny by Weird 34. Another example to throw on the mountainous heap.

[-] Buffalox@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

That's an excellent point, obviously Trump wouldn't do that ever.

[-] Hazzia@infosec.pub 9 points 3 months ago

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
