With President Donald Trump appointing Stephen Miller as his new chief of staff, some conservative media members are celebrating his new job by highlighting a CNN interview in which Miller smacked down network anchor Jake Tapper on the issue of immigrants imported into America.
“Want to see a murder on live TV?” asked Benny Johnson of “The Benny Show.”
“I give you New White House Chief of Staff Stephen Miller vs. Jake Tapper on CNN. Tapper said we need illegals here to pick our crops. Then, Fatality.”
During the televised clash, which took place in January 2025, Tapper focused on illegal aliens who work in the U.S. agriculture industry.
“Only 1% of alien workers in the entire country work in agriculture,” Miller explained. “The top destination for illegal aliens are large cities like New York, like Los Angeles.”
“None of those illegal aliens are doing farm work.”
Tapper claimed Miller was trying to change the subject.
“The illegal aliens that Joe Biden brought into our country are not, full stop, doing farm work. They are not,” Miller fired back. “The illegal aliens he brought in are from Venezuela, from Haiti, from Nicaragua, they are not doing farm work. They are in our cities collecting welfare.
“As for the farmers, there is a guest worker program that President Trump supports. Over time as well, you will transition into automation so we’ll never have to have this conversation ever again.”
As Tapper fiddled with his papers and smirked, Miller continued: “There’s no universe in which this nation is going to allow the previous president to flood our nation with millions and millions of illegal aliens who just get to stay here. And we are especially not going to allow a subset of those illegal aliens to rape and murder our citizens.
“So we are going to unapologetically enforce our immigration laws, and as I’m sure you will celebrate, we are going to unleash the power and might of the U.S. government to eradicate the presence of transnational threats on our soil.”

“Pure fire,” said Libs of TikTok on Sunday. “Inject this straight into my veins.”
Other commented:
“This is so disrespectful. Americans built this country; we can pick our own fruits, CNN can kiss my a$$.”
“The scowled look on the reporter’s face says it all. Lame Stream Media is nothing less than propaganda for the left.”
“That was awesome to watch. Tapper shuffling his papers in an agitated manner while Miller destroyed his narrative.”
“Never seen a single video where Stephen Miller lost an argument … not once.”
“The most racist thing I’ve experienced in my life is the constant assertion from liberals that all Hispanic people are slave-like fieldworkers and maids.”
“I wish I was 1/4 sharp as Miller.”
Miller, who was Trump’s deputy chief of staff for policy until last week, has been seen as the architect of the president’s hard-line immigration stance.
As WorldNetDaily reported, Trump told “60 Minutes” Sunday night he now believes his crackdown on illegal aliens “might be too tough.”
If President Trump softens on immigration enforcement, it will be a disaster:
60 Minutes: “So you think your deportation policy went too far?
President Trump: “I think it was too tough.”
60 Minutes: “It was too tough?”
President Trump “I think it might be too tough, yeah.” https://t.co/L44SDmrS1T
