Sean Hannity Pounces On Joe Scarborough For Criticizing Trump Advisor Stephen Miller’s Talk Show Performance

Donald Trump’s 31-year-old senior policy advisor, Stephen Miller — the architect of the Muslim ban — executed a messy round of Sunday talk show appearances that played like Kellyanne Conway needed a last-minute day off. Granted, the lies were all still present and accounted for. Miller read a series of false statements (including fictitious high praise for Sean Spicer’s truth-telling abilities) from a prompter and awkwardly defended Trump’s continued false claims about voter fraud.

Miller grew outraged when host George Stephanopoulos repeatedly reminded him that there was no evidence of voter fraud. The advisor robotically railed over what he called a “scandal” for which the media needs to wake up and “stop the presses.” Donald Trump later praised him for a “great job!”

Well, Morning Joe‘s Joe Scarborough couldn’t believe that Trump was praising “that kid who embarrassed the White House this morning.” He fired off a few tweets to illustrate his appalled reaction.

Co-host Mika Brzezinski also tweeted how “embarrassed” she felt to be watching Miller and Kellyanne Conway on cable news, which she called “beyond sad for our country.”

Naturally, Sean Hannity jumped to attention, albeit with a delayed reaction. Once he realized Trump’s guy was being criticized, Hannity immediately insulted Scarborough for “horrific ratings,” which “totally suck.” And he also dropped a vague threat to start telling the world “who you really are.”

Now there’s a “scandal”! Hannity continued to assert that “nobody watches” Morning Joe, but he’s wrong. Donald Trump totally watches the show every weekday morning. However, Hannity will not be deterred.
