White House aide Stephen Miller appeared more calm and collected during a Friday night interview with Fox News after going nuclear on CNN earlier in the week.
Miller got himself so worked up on Tuesday chatting with CNN anchor Brianna Keilar that she literally had to tell him to “calm down” as he railed against critics of Elon Musk’s DOGE amid ongoing federal cuts.
However, Miller seemed for at ease during his interview with Sean Hannity, who tossed him softball after softball while reassuring him his shouting and over-the-top rhetoric had been perfectly justified.
Before the interview had even begun, Hannity proudly boasted, “I’ll never tell Stephen Miller to calm down about anything,” going on to say he’d “loved the civic lessons” supposedly embedded in Miller’s performance.
Miller for his part seemed jovial to the point of relief during the interview, stating, “It’s a very easy job for me to promote what President Trump has done in office these last 30 days.”
Hannity piled on that Democratic representatives have been “clinging to losing propositions.”
Musing on how Trump is “restoring accountability and stopping the taxpayer’s wealth from being raided and abused,” Miller appeared to have recovered some of his former vigor, raising his voice and jabbing with his finger to underline his point.
Wrapping up their discussion, Hannity told him, “Don’t ever relax on CNN, ever. That’s really bad advice.”
“And I never will Sean,” replied a visibly pepped-up Miller.
