Fox News’ Chris Wallace Hammers Stephen Miller: How Is This a ‘National Emergency?’
The last time Stephen Miller got this heated during a television interview, CNN’s Jake Tapper had to cut him off for “wasting” viewers’ time and the White House adviser reportedly had to be escorted out of the building by security.
This time, he was on Fox News, struggling to defend President Donald Trump’s announcement this week that he would be declaring a national emergency to obtain the funding his border wall with Mexico in a highly contentious sit-down with Fox News Sunday host Chris Wallace.
Repeatedly, Wallace tried to get Miller to explain how the supposed “crisis” at the border justifies an emergency order, presenting him with statistics that show how illegal border crossings have dropped dramatically over the past two decades and that 80-90 percent of drugs are seized at ports of entry.
