Stephen Miller Threw Out $80 Worth of Sushi After Bartender Gave Him Two Middle Fingers

Source: Newsweek




By Benjamin Fearnow On 7/9/18 at 11:40 AM

..................................................

Miller claimed to have ordered the $80 worth of takeout sushi, picking it up and then departing the unnamed restaurant. But as he exited the restaurant into the street, Miller said a bartender at the establishment followed him and shouted “Stephen!” before showing him both middle fingers. Miller was so incensed at the situation that he claimed to colleagues that he threw the entire large sushi order into the garbage.

The Trump adviser also detailed to colleagues how he took a stroll through Dupont Circle a few months ago and a stranger shouted, “Better be better.” Miller also started appearing throughout the city in “Wanted” posters that showed his face and labeled him a “white nationalist.” The national policy director for LGBT rights organization Equality California, Valerie Ploumpis, was scolded by building management at Miller’s City Center apartment building for repeatedly placing the posters near his residence.

Earlier this month, a protester named Jesse Rabinowitz organized an event outside of Miller’s condo, where he and several others told his neighbors they’re living next to a “dangerous man” and have a “moral obligation” to confront the Trump cohort. “As long as Stephen Miller and the Trump regime terrorize black and brown communities, penalize immigrants and ban Muslims, they will be met with frequent displays of public anger and moral outrage,” said Rabinowitz, who described himself to USA Today as a “concerned D.C. resident.” He added that the country is “in a moment of moral clarity where this is what you have to do.”

In June, Miller and Homeland Security Secretary Kirstjen Nielsen were the targets of public harassment inside separate Mexican restaurants in the D.C. area. Miller was at Espita Mezcaleria when several hecklers approached him and said: “Hey, look guys, whoever thought we’d be in a restaurant with a real-life fascist begging [for] money for new cages?” Page Six reported. Miller did not respond to the heckling that reportedly occurred just days before White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders was asked to leave a Virginia restaurant. The Washington Post reports that Kellyanne Conway was ridiculed while shopping recently, when another customer screamed at her: "You ought to be ashamed of yourself! Go look in the mirror."

I mean, we're all human, and we all sometimes fall short of our own ideals (especially around in-laws).

But those people take it to a whole other level.

Stephen Miller strikes me as the kind of guy who is so mired in confidence about his own ideology, nothing would bother him.

So, is he actually, on some level, human?

Smart to throw out the raw fish, though.

As for the raw fish - yea. I had a friend who used to take me to a nice Sushi place in Burbank. I liked the Unagi (smoked eel) but all in all, I prefer my fish served fried, with chips and malt vinegar on the side. Oh, and I make a killer salmon with lemon rice.

There have been several posts here since the Red Hen controversy by people claiming they would poison the food of administration staffers with various un named substances. Most people would decide it wasn't worth taking a chance after being confronted like that

This article tries to humanize a person that had children ripped away from their parents all because they were seeking asylum in the US. In a civilized world, someone like him would have no access to power.

Beware of media attempts that make monsters like him seem normal.

he was laying in a gutter having an attack or something. I step right over him and keep walking. If he begged me for water and I had some, I'd pour it out before I'd see him drink. May his life always be miserable, as I wish kellyconwoman and Sarah huckster the same.

who died in vain. Getting caught was bad enough, but then not even providing nourishment -what a waste.
