Famously racist Trump adviser goes ballistic when asked for facts

Following Tuesday’s presidential debate, Trump campaign adviser Stephen Miller was caught on video screaming at a reporter who asked him to provide data backing up his claims about immigration.

“The crime rate in Venezuela is down, I believe, a little bit over 60% over the last several years,” Miller asserted while discussing crime in the United States.

José María Del Pino, a reporter for Colombia-based news channel NTN24, asked Miller if he was relying on figures released by the Venezuelan government, currently led by dictator Nicolás Maduro. Maduro has become an international pariah during his time in power and has been criticized for limiting civil liberties and free expression.

Miller declined to directly answer the question, so Del Pino persisted and repeated his query.

“I am trusting the fact that Kamala Harris is letting illegal immigrants into this country who are raping and murdering children,” Miller responded, raising his voice.

Del Pino continued to ask Miller for the source of his data, but the Trump insider instead filibustered, yelling at the reporter about crimes purportedly connected to immigrant groups. Eventually, Miller walked away from the cameras instead of backing up his argument.
