Stephen Miller Gets Slammed After Tweeting That Joe Biden is a Mean and Foul-Mouthed Boss

By

Who remembers Trump yelling at Peter Alexander of NBC News?

Peter Alexander offered up a politician’s dream question, an opportunity to look like the hero, the guy in charge, the one who will protect everyone. On the day that Trump was “trumpeting” hydroxychloroquine as a possible cure and the U.S. just passed 200 dead, Alexander asked Trump “What do you say right now to Americans who are scared?”

What. A. Softball. Trump – or any other politician could have said something like:

“I say this. I understand. It is hard to confront the unknown, so their feelings are totally understandable. (Affirm their feelings). But I will also say this. The United States is never better than when called to meet a great challenge and hard times. That is when we unite, that is when we help each other… ”

Easiest. Answer. Ever. Trump could have pulled Alexander aside afterward and said, “Hey, thanks. That was important. We needed to address those fears because  a lot of people are scared. Good job.”

Instead, Trump said, to those people who are scared, “I say you are terrible reporter!” and proceeded to humiliate Alexander in front of the entire world. Obviously, it was but one example, Trump absolutely abused many female reporters worse and more often, Yamiche Alcindor seemed to be his favorite target (a Black American woman, of course). We used the Alexander example because it was just so obviously a gift question.

Trump yelled at protesters, encouraged his people to be violent, sicced his crowds on the Capitol, pardoned a man who committed war crimes…

Joe Biden, on the other hand, has forty years of public behavior to examine. Moreover, unlike Trump, Joe Biden has a staff that would run through a wall for him. But when a report came out yesterday – from the Daily Caller – stating that Biden can go off on his staff with profanity-laced tirades (and there are many who say it was way exaggerated), even if true, it actually shouldn’t have been all that shocking to anyone. NO one, and we mean NO one, should ever take a job as a top aide in the White House, or even with the CEO of General Motors, if one is not ready to have some explosive moments. The pressure is immense, lives are on the line, the work couldn’t be more important, and sometimes people make mistakes that should not be made at that level.

That doesn’t mean anyone should be abused. It shouldn’t be normal. It shouldn’t be sexist, or racist (that is unforgivable). It shouldn’t always be directed at a single person. But if one cannot take a “Damn it, Jason, how the hell could you possibly fck this up! Come on, man! Don’t do this again!” then one has no place working in the White House, or as a political writer, either – for that matter. It happens, people are people. We are all weak, and we’re near certain there are a lot of apologies and pep talks behind closed doors. Anyone ever hear Trump apologize? Can you imagine him giving a pep talk to anyone but himself?

So it takes a lot of brass for Stephen Miller to issue the tweet below because there is nothing “carefully curated” in people’s portrayal of Biden. There are no curations about people in public life for 40 years. No one knew that Biden gave his personal cellphone number to kids with a stutter until President Obama said it while awarding Biden the Medal of Freedom as but one example. Is Joe goofy? Has he made big mistakes? Yes! Try going forty years and come out with a clean record!

Stephen Miller has said and done far more offensive things in his life that Joe Biden could ever conjure, and for the sheer ballsiness of the irony, this is just so over the top:

And with that, the net unloaded on “poor” Stephen:

Peace, y’all
