Stephen Miller Loses His Cool on Fox News: ‘Absolute Moron’
Stephen Miller threw a veritable hissy fit on Fox News Monday after a host questioned whether Donald Trump’s invocation of wartime authority to deport migrants would hold up legally.
During an interview with The Story host Martha MacCallum on Monday, Miller was asked about MSNBC pundit Andrew Weissmann’s argument that the president should not be allowed to invoke an 18th-century law to deport migrants because it was intended for wartime use. Instead of addressing the point, Miller launched into a tirade.
“First of all, Andrew Weissmann is an absolute moron,” Miller fumed. “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.”

Forgetting the original question, Miller fixated on Weissmann’s record as a former prosecutor who worked on Robert Mueller’s investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.
“He was involved in the Mueller coup against a democratically elected president, Donald J. Trump,” Miller said, before shouting, “Weissmann should never be on TV anywhere! He should hang his head in eternal shame for what he’s done to this country!”
As MacCallum attempted to regain control of the conversation, Miller—a key architect of Trump’s hardline immigration policies—continued railing against Weissmann and defending Trump’s legally questionable use of the Alien Enemies Act of 1798 to deport Venezuelan migrants over the weekend.
“You can call Weissmann names, and he can call you names, and that’s what’s great about living in America,” MacCallum interjected with an exasperated smirk, only for Miller to cut her off again.
“This is a tip for Weissmann!” Miller yelled. “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!”
It’s the second time in a month that a TV anchor has grappled with an out-of-control Miller.
Last month, CNN host Brianna Keilar had to ask a hysterical Miller to “calm down” in a live interview after he blew up while trying to defend Elon Musk and the Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE).
On Monday, a federal judge ordered the White House to explain why it defied a court order by deporting the Venezuelan migrants, whom Trump claims are violent members of the Tren de Aragua gang.
In a direct challenge to the judiciary, the administration argued Monday afternoon that the judge’s orders were “not enforceable.”
