Trump advisor Jason Miller stopped by CNN This Morning on Thursday, and was left squirming when anchor Kasie Hunt confronted him about Donald Trump’s recent Truth Social post that featured a screenshot of an image of younger Kamala Harris smiling next to Hillary Clinton, with a caption underneath that read, “Funny how blowjobs impacted both their careers differently.”

“What would you say to the vice president of the United States about the comment that [Trump] reposted?” Hunt asked.

“Well, I saw the social media post,” Miller replied. “I have not discussed that with the president. I don’t know if the president even saw the comment that was on there or simply the picture.”

Miller then quickly pivoted to accuse Democrats of attacking Trump with even more vitriol, telling Hunt, “The attacks that have been levied by Kamala Harris’ campaign and by Harris’ allies against President Trump — not just recently but over the past year and a half, two years, ever since he came down the escalator, quite frankly—in the case of many leftist-centered people, have been quite horrific.”

Hunt asked Miller if he thought the criticisms against Trump have been “as horrific” as the image Trump had reposted. Miller replied, “Oh, a hundred times worse.”

“But they haven’t been sexual in nature in this way,” Hunt pointed out.

“Again, I haven’t discussed that with the president,” Miller said. “I don’t know if the president even saw the comment that was on there. That’s not something that I have asked.”

    What an absolute despicable liar.
    Arguably the worst thing Harris has called Trump is “felon”, and that is true.

    But next Jason Miller will probably claim that because it’s true it’s worse, and Trump is crying himself to sleep every night over it, because he is such a spoiled cry baby.

      Isn’t that the point in the interview, after Jason Miller says that the Harris campaign did something 100x worse, when you tell Miller that since he knows something that much worse, he should give an actual example?

    Why would a Trump advisor discuss it with Biden? Does Jason Miller have dementia?

          I agree. I think “Mr. Obama” is appropriate 2017 and onward. But like is noted there, “President Obama,” is still at least a common mistake, I could see how that extends into formal settings as well.

          I don’t think “the president” is common. Nor a mistake, coming from that source.

    Don’t forget that CNN has shifted with the Overton Window to the right.

    CNN is just about what Faux News was when it first launched. They pander to both sides but just a little more to the right.

      There is an author that wrote a book about 20 years ago that was his mea culpa for helping CNN to create the shout show format. I’m not sure they’ve ever really been even half as “liberal” as the unhinged right wing claims.

          Yes, good point. I was going to mention that Firing Line with Bill F’ing Buckley was on PBS long before then, too. And PBS is supposedly the network of Karl Marx, if you are to believe the unhinged right wing.

          And that’s after Buckley called Vidal a queer and threatened him with violence.

          Firing Line is something the people at CNN were most likely influence by. I wish I could remember the name of that book and the name of the person that wrote it, but I bet they even said something about Firing Line.

          In any case, this stuff has been going on for a very long time, on my supposedly “liberal media” television stations…LOL.

    In a lot of ways, Trump is a lazy and unserious person. But I do not believe for a second that he was not aware of what was being posted on his social media. That is his greatest obsession.

      It seems like every other day, Trump does something that would have been absolutely career-ending for anyone else. I think he’s kept his campaign from going down the toilet by just making sure it was completely clogged.

        Trump operates by slowly moving the bar. He incrementally pushes the boundaries of acceptability, to the point that now nothing is surprising anymore. As a result, he can do these things that should be career ending, because his supporters laugh it off and his detractors, disgusted as they may be, still expect this behavior from Trump.

        My own mother “chose” to believe misleading Fox stats on officer-involved shootings after I did a web search and provided a much higher number. She said that. “I’m choosing to believe…”. You don’t need to convince me of how much people will delude themselves.

                Hey man, I’m sorry, I was speaking more broadly about the type of person, rather than the specific individual, and I do need to work on my black-and-white thinking. Absolutely nothing to do with being a woman, the comment actually reminded me of a man in my life with similar views and I’ve had to come to the conclusion that I should value his opinions less.

                Edit: also, I’d hardly call my two short comments (one I clearly didn’t proofread) a “lecture”.

                A lot of smart people hold a lot of wrong/bad ideas.
