In Stephen Millers world, reality is beside the point

Senior presidential adviser Stephen Miller had a memorable Sunday on four talk shows. “Memorable” is not a good thing in this case. It was bad enough that he declared on CBS, “The president of the United States has accomplished more in just a few weeks than many presidents accomplish in an entire administration.” (William Henry Harrison survived only 31 days in office, James A. Garfield about 3 months, but 2 of 44 prior presidents does not make for “many.”)

He got rapped on the knuckles by George Stephanopoulos on ABC’s This Week:

STEPHANOPOULOS: Let me move on, though, to the question of voter fraud as well. President Trump again this week suggested in a meeting with senators that thousands of illegal voters were bused from Massachusetts to New Hampshire and that’s what caused his defeat in the state of New Hampshire, also the defeat of Senator Kelly Ayotte.

That has provoked a response from a member of the Federal Election Commission, Ellen Weintraub, who says, “I call upon the president to immediately share New Hampshire voter fraud evidence so that his allegations may be investigated promptly.”

Do have that evidence?

MILLER: I have actually haven’t worked before on a campaign in New Hampshire. I can tell you that this issue of busing voters into New Hampshire is widely known by anyone who’s worked in New Hampshire politics. It’s very real. It’s very serious. This morning, on this show, is not the venue for me to lay out all the evidence.

But I can tell you this, voter fraud is a serious problem in this country. You have millions of people who are registered in two states or who are dead who are registered to vote. And you have 14 percent of non-citizens, according to academic research, at a minimum, are registered to vote, which is an astonishing statistic.
