So the WH is planning to throw Stephen Miller under the bus, blaming him for EO mistakes

Joe Scarborough is spinning very hard for the WH this morning, blaming those idiotic EOs and how incompetently they were rolled out on Stephen Miller's "youth" and "inexperience."

As if Trump, Bannon and Flynn had nothing to do with this and were led around by an aide in his early 30s, and oh, it's all his fault that no one vetted the EOs with other agencies, lawyers, etc., since he was the one who tiold them they should wing it.

Yeah, right...

on MSNBC now, Joe brought up how "Stephen Miller" overruled what the DHS had tried to tell the WH about people with green cards.

It was widely reported yesterday that this was BANNON and Miller. Now they're trying to save Bannon, and Miller will probably be out soon.
