"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.

    It’s disappointing to see a bipartisan bill (this rarely happens) that could have made a difference get killed without making it to the house floor. That seemed like the middle ground solution.

    Sadly, Trump is getting exactly what he wanted out of this election. His cornerstone argument is the border and he is literally nothing without it.
