‘Thank you, Jake Tapper’: Trump aide Miller flayed on internet after CNN host cuts off ‘baby Goebbels’ CNN freak out

Top White House aide Stephen Miller had a complete meltdown on CNN’s State of the Union on Sunday morning which forced host Jake Tapper to shut down the interview and, needless to say, Twitter users noticed right away.

Moments after Tapper told Miller, “There’s one viewer that you care about right now and you’re being obsequious because you’re trying to please him. I’ve wasted enough of my viewers time, ” and cut to commercial in disgust, Twitter lit up over the controversial Trump adviser whose TV appearances are always combative.

Here is a sampling:

Assholes are far too used to being allowed to fillibuster the talk shows.

I'm a firm believer in a mike cutoff button.

How unstable trump truly is allowing this guy out in public, and is even scarier he's still working in the White House. Trump can claim all he wants, but his actions show he's beyond just being unfit, delusional, and unstable, he's the greatest national security threat this country has ever had. He could care less about anything, or anyone , except himself, and his addiction to receiving praise. He's sick.

I don’t have access to msm everyday so I miss great moments of journalism like this.
Great move, Tapper slammed and shut that spewing garbage can.

He is the creepiest person I have ever seen or listened too. Good job Jake, although I would have cut off his bullshit a lot sooner. I am glad he eventually called it.

Unfortunately, Tapper should have cut him off or not even have allowed him on the show.

I hope more journalists begin to do this with Trump sycophants. I am totally sick of them refusing to answer questions and shouting over the top of the journalists in order to spew Trump talking points. I want their answers to direct questions ... questions most of us in the USA have.
