Fox News host Martha MacCallum struggled to maintain control of an interview with Stephen Miller, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff, on Monday after she asked him to respond to comments made by Andrew Weissmann, a former prosecutor who worked on special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election.
MacCallum mentioned that Weissmann, now an MSNBC commentator, had argued that President Donald Trump should not be allowed to use an 18th-century law to deport suspected Venezuelan gang members because it was intended for wartime.
Miller became unhinged as he fired back.
“Andrew Weissmann is an absolute moron!” he shouted. “He is a moron, and he is a fool, and he’s a degenerate. Andrew Weissmann has devoted his career to putting innocent Americans in jail, taking away their civil liberties.”
He continued with even more anger, accusing Weissmann of being part of an effort to undermine Trump’s presidency.
“He was involved in the Mueller coup against a democratically elected president, Donald J. Trump. Weissmann should never be on TV anywhere! He should hang his head in eternal shame for what he’s done to this country!” Miller yelled. “And now he’s up there shilling for people who rape and murder Americans. That’s who Andrew Weissmann is!”
MacCallum tried to regain control of the segment. “You can call Weissmann names, and he can call you names, and that’s what’s great about living in America,” she said.
But Miller wasn’t finished. “This is a tip for Weissmann!” he shouted. “I will defend American lives working for President Trump, and Andrew Weissmann can defend illegal alien rapists, terrorists, and predators! I’ve chosen my side!”
He added: “Americans have chosen their side and President Trump has chosen the side of fiercely defending the American people!”
MacCallum responded, “I hear you 100%. How about Whoopi Goldberg?”
