Katie Miller made a veiled threat to deport a political commentator during a heated debate about New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani on Thursday.
The wife of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller appeared on a panel of commentators on “Piers Morgan Uncensored.” While arguing with The Young Turks co-creator Cenk Uygur, the debate quickly turned ugly. The shouting match devolved into Miller questioning the validity of Uygur’s U.S. citizenship application.
Miller accused Uygur of “racist, bigoted rhetoric” around Israel and Uygur countered that Miller was a habitual liar. When Cenk floated the idea that Israel got a “pass” on committing genocide against Palestinians, Miller wondered if the Trump administration might need to take a closer look at his recently granted citizenship.
Miller cut in. “You better check your citizenship application and make sure everything is correct,” she said. “Because you’ll be just like Ilhan Omar.”
Liberals and leftists may believe this, but the sad reality of our species is that we’re not a logical creature, and at the end of the day, we care far, far more about interpersonal perceptions and feelings than we do about consistency or logical, fair argument.
And this is really serious, we have to understand this better. We have a minority of the population running roughshod over entire nations and constitutions and even the social contract because the only way we know how to engage with them and fight them is with consistent, good-faith debate, meanwhile on their end, they care far more about aesthetics, appearances, skin color and accent, superficial attitude and beliefs than they do being called out for inconsistency.
This is the Kayfabe Crew, they willingly and knowingly will believe things they know to be untrue because it’s more important to them how they feel than what they know. They have made this choice and our inability to engage them on this level has created walls that will keep us from having success.
Let us all remember and mourn the days that Tim Waltz was calling them “weird” and making more political waves for it than years of statistics and data and debate, before being muzzled by the democratic party for not being a boring shade of inoffensive grey.
