"Why are you yelling?” the reporter asked as Trump’s senior adviser refused to clarify the source of information he was spreading about Venezuela’s crime rate.

Trump senior adviser Stephen Miller had an on-camera meltdown after being asked by a journalist to back up questionable claims he was making about Venezuela’s crime rate, video of the episode posted to social media shows.

The four-minute video shows an emotional Miller yelling at NTN24 reporter José María del Pino on Tuesday after del Pino questioned Miller over his claims that Venezuela has become safer than the United States because its convicts are now all in the U.S.

Miller also repeated a since-debunked story that a Venezuelan gang has taken over Colorado apartment complexes.

    Even el Salvador has lowered it’s crime rates by 60% but they did it by throwing every suspect in prison for life no trial or anything. So you just know there are innocent people sitting in that inhumane prison they built. So yeah you can lower a crime rate that much, but you’re not gonna do it without stomping on human rights and the blood of innocents
