'Oh my God': Morning Joe stunned by Stephen Miller's 'anti-constitutional' claims about courts

TRAVIS GETTYS
13 FEB 2017 AT 07:59 ET

NBC’s Joe Scarborough harshly criticized the White House for sending senior advisor Stephen Miller to question the bedrock constitutional principle of judicial independence.

The “Morning Joe” host has been an outspoken critic of Miller, whom he has described as too inexperienced and immature for his position, and Scarborough and his fellow panelists were left speechless by the official’s shouted claim that the president was “correct 100 percent of the time.”

“Oh my God,” said co-host Mika Brzezinski, who later suggested Miller should be fired in a tweet posted during the broadcast.

“Oh my God,” Scarborough agreed. “It’s so much worse than I ever thought. Wow.”

tell everyone to chill out following Scar's lead . This morning she kept saying he didn't want her to say certain things,she says it seems like we should be saying these certain things,she is now scared as hell.

She knows and we know that Trump is Putins puppet and the cabinet is filled wit assorted NUTS! Has she been talking to Daddy? Scar thinks if he says it then that makes it relevant. Are they still calling us conspiracy theorists..

Milller is it. Which is odd because he is Jewish.

It's just the cold dead eyes and demeanor that tells you he could kill a kitten without regret.

Must have had a hell of a childhood..been bullied or something

Not one shred of soul in trump administration. .

A Kapo "was a prisoner in a concentration camp assigned by the SS to supervise forced labor and carry out administrative tasks."

They were prisoners who turned on their fellow inmates in an attempt to save themselves.

Miller is Jack in Lord of The Flies.

I wonder how his liberal Jewish parents feel about his current career success.
Was he just so arrogant to think he had found the holy grail of ideas? Does he have an organic brain defect?

Inthink they finally get it - Trump wants total power. We are lucky he is such a buffon, because what he has shown is that many Americans want this too. And next time, with a smoother autocrat, he may get it.

Miller was a warm-up act for Trump at the rallies helping drum up Islamaphobia and fear of immigrants

He is also anti-LGBT rights and co-authored the anti- LGBT EO that reportedly Ivanka/Jared scuttled for now

He is a fanatic, power grabbing extremist

It's worse than he thought huh,.The other day he was saying "Whew" I can finally stop worrying.

He makes excuses and screams down the entire table trying to get everyone to agree,but when all else fails there is his yes man Harold Ford.

Harold saves the day he always finds a way to blame the Democrats, as well.

Mon Feb 13, 2017, 01:47 PM
Feb 2017

A-team is too damaged by the moronic lies the admin keeps flogging so they tried a new surrogate. The problem is, Miller is not a good surrogate and never will be. He is deathly pale, cold and unlikeable on camera. And he still has the California surfer-boy speech patterns which make sound young and inexperienced.

Team Bannon needs to change up their messaging. Straight-up lies and bullying worked ok for the Breitbart crew during the election, but it is not cutting it anymore. They got nothing. It IS fun to watch them twist in the wind like this, hoisted on their own petard.....
