White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller blasted media figures and Democratic politicians on Wednesday on Fox News’ Hannity for spreading baseless online rumors that President Donald Trump had died.
The false claims erupted Friday and spread over the Labor Day weekend with hashtags like #TrumpIsDead and #WhereIsTrump trending. Hannity pressed Miller for his reaction, pointing to figures such as former Biden press secretary Jen Psaki, comedian Stephen Colbert, and Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz, who all publicly entertained the rumors.
Speculation surged after Trump was not seen in public on Friday, even though The Daily Caller conducted an hour-long exclusive interview with him that same day.
On Monday, Walz hinted at the conspiracy during a Labor Day picnic, saying, “There will be news sometime” about the president’s death.
“Where do you even begin with these morons, Sean?” Miller asked. “President Trump has done more press conferences, more interviews, more transparency, more public accessibility, more hours and hours with the press. He livestreams his cabinet meetings for nearly four hours. There’s no human being in the history of politics who has made themselves more available to the press and the public than President Trump or who has demonstrated more stamina in public life. I can tell you that every single person who works for him in the White House is outworked by him.”
“He is the first one to call us in the morning, in the early hours of the morning. He is the last one to call us far past midnight on every single work project, whether it’s trade, whether it’s national security, whether it’s the border, whether it’s crime, whether it’s public safety, whether it is making our cities beautiful again, whether it is making our government responsive, whether it’s improving the workforce, whether it is dealing with the need for cheaper housing. You pick the issue,” Miller added. “He’s on top of it 24-7.”
Miller also offers his take on the crime crisis in Chicago — don’t miss it.
