'Sociopath!' Stephen Miller melts down as progressive podcaster mocks SOTU theatrics
White House senior adviser Stephen Miller and former Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau got into a heated Twitter exchange on Wednesday after Favreau dismissed Miller's dramatic reaction to Democrats sitting during parts of President Donald Trump's State of the Union address.
Miller ignited the spat by declaring that Democrats' refusal to stand during certain moments of the speech was "a moment that chills to the bone and which will live for a thousand years." Miller was reacting to CNN conservative pundit Scott Jennings calling it the "moment of the night" when Democrats refused to stand for the American victims of violence at the hands of undocumented immigrants.
Favreau, co-founder of the popular Pod Save America podcast, was unimpressed.
"It's genuinely so funny how hard they're trying to make this a thing," Favreau replied.
Miller escalated, accusing Democrats of showing contempt for the families of crime victims while cheering for tax hikes.
"Democrats leapt, clapped, hollered and cheered for raising taxes but their legs, hands and voices froze in icy contempt as they glowered at the parents of slain children. Democrats vowed allegiance to invaders over citizens, and this top Dem finds their deadly betrayal hilarious," Miller raged.
Favreau responded by expressing hope that Miller would "bring more of your Victorian asylum patient energy" into future Trump speeches. He also said he found Miller "hilarious."
Miller lashed out again on X, accusing Favreau of being a "textbook sociopath" lacking empathy for families of violent crime victims.
"He has been given multiple opportunities to show empathy for American moms whose children were raped and murdered by the illegals whose entry he cheered. He refuses. He finds the topic 'hilarious.' Jon, one more time: do you grieve for these families?” chided Miller.
Favreau hit back with a scathing retort — "I mean I certainly have sympathy for yours" — prompting Miller to declare his opponent's "soul is broken."
