Obama Aide Lays Into ‘Weirdo' Stephen Miller in Fiery Clash
Ex-Barack Obama speechwriter Jon Favreau continued his beef with White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller on Tuesday after the pair got into a very public name-calling spat a day earlier.
Favreau celebrated the Trump administration's first 100 Days by posting a video highlighting some of Miller's apparent accomplishments. Among those was the administration's deportation of a 4-year-old child with cancer.
'The words 'normal' and 'human' aren't typically used to describe Stephen Miller, my White House predecessor and current Twitter bestie,' Favreau said in the clip, titled, 'What @StephenM has accomplished in 100 Days.'
The two had argued on X on Monday night over the span of six hours; Miller calling Favreau a 'remorseless sociopath' and Favreau retaliating by calling him and the Trump administration 'insecure little b---hes.'
Favreau reiterated Miller's 'remorseless sociopath' accusations on Tuesday, pleading with viewers: 'let's not give Stephen Miller what he wants. Make sure he knows we're not afraid of his bulls--- and we're not afraid of a guy who got stuffed in one too many lockers at Santa Monica High School.' He finished by labelling Miller a 'f---ing weirdo.'
It all started when Favreau slid his way into a back-and-forth argument on X between Miller and Delaware Rep. Sarah McBride, with the Trump aide berating McBride for being transgender.
'The lead healthcare spokesman for the House Democrats is a man pretending to be a woman,' he wrote on X.
Their argument came to a close when Miller claimed he 'won't stop protecting American children' from abuse in the form of 'mutilating trans surgeries, disfiguring medical amputations and irreversible chemical castrations.'
That's when Favreau stepped in, reminding Miller: 'You just deported a 4-year-old citizen with cancer so it doesn't seem like you give a shit about protecting American children.'
Less than an hour later, Miller responded: 'Jon: you supported a president, Joe Biden, who imported child rapists and trafficked half a million children. The Trump Administration ended child trafficking across the border.'
He added how 'your shrill, lying propaganda will not erase or reduce your complicity in these monstrous crimes.'
Favreau didn't back down, instead advising Miller to 'spend less time on your deportation porn lawn signs and more time on your legal arguments now that a Trump judge has asked you to dispel his 'strong suspicion that the Government just deported a U.S. citizen with no meaningful process.''
The comment was a reference to the bizarre stunt the administration pulled Monday, which left the north lawn of the White House littered with mugshots of undocumented migrants staffers claimed were arrested during Trump's second term.
The posters were strategically placed along 'Pebble Beach,' which is the background for many tV correspondents' live shots. A White House official told Axios that their goal was to have them show up on air.
Miller took insult to this jab, telling Favreau that he thought his predecessor was just a 'hapless moron,' but now sees he's a 'remorseless sociopath.'
'The photos you find so amusing, Jon, are the mug shots of illegal aliens who raped and tortured women and children — the illegals that Democrats are fighting to protect' Miller wrote.
Favreau fired back: 'Yeah, we didn't litter the White House lawn with photos of criminals deported under Obama because we weren't insecure little b---hes.'
'Not sure why you think any of us need protecting from a 4-year-old cancer patient or a pregnant mother but I guess that's why you're so beloved,' he quipped.
But the argument wasn't over. Miller added a 'PS' claiming that U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement 'honors' migrant's requests to bring their children home with them.
Favreau couldn't help himself from responding with his own 'PPS,' citing evidence of a mother being forced to be deported with her U.S.-born children.
'You're lying like you lie about everything, which is why you keep causing your boss to lose in court over and over again, even in front of judges he appointed,' he said.
Miller was already fighting hard Monday against polls from various news outlets that showed Trump's disapproval ratings sitting at around 55 percent.
'I don't want to make things awkward for you, John, but it is our opinion that Fox News needs to fire its pollster,' Miller told Fox News anchor John Roberts Monday, who described the president's approval ratings as 'well underwater.'

Democrats fend off GOP in San Antonio mayor runoff election
Former Biden administration official Gina Ortiz Jones has won a runoff election in San Antonio's mayoral race, fending off a Republican opponent that the GOP hoped could pull off an upset, Decision Desk HQ projects. Jones defeated former Texas Secretary of State Rolando Pablos in an officially nonpartisan election that still in practice played out as a partisan election as Jones is a registered Democrat and Pablos is a registered Republican. The two candidates had advanced from the first round of the election in which many competed on the same ballot. Since no candidate received a majority of the vote in that round last month, the top two performing candidates advanced to face each other in the runoff. The city of San Antonio hasn't elected a Republican mayor in more than 20 years, and the past two elections for outgoing Mayor Ron Nirenberg, who has served since 2017, haven't been close. Nirenberg is term-limited from running again after serving four two-year terms. But Republicans had hope that they could notch a win with Pablos, who served as secretary of state for about two years under Gov. Greg Abbott (R). The GOP made some gains in the city in November after three presidential races in a row in which the city swung toward Democrats, though former Vice President Harris still comfortably won the area. Pablos also had a significant fundraising advantage, outraising Jones by a margin of 1.5 to 1, while outside spending from PACs contributed more than triple the amount in favor of Pablos compared to Jones, according to DDHQ. That includes a PAC with ties to Abbott and San Antonio's police union, The Texas Tribune reported. Pablos also picked up an endorsement from the editorial board of the San Antonio Express-News, uncommon for a Republican. But Jones was still the favorite in the Democratic-leaning city, even despite the gains that President Trump and the GOP has made with Hispanic voters recently. She finished first in the first round of voting in May, receiving 27.2 percent of the vote in a crowded field to Pablos's 16.6 percent. Jones previously served as undersecretary of the Air Force during the Biden administration from 2021 to 2023. Before that, she was the Democratic nominee for the House seat in Texas's 23rd Congressional District in 2018 and 2020, losing narrowly both times. She will be San Antonio's third female mayor and the first person to serve a four-year term after voters in the city approved a measure in November extending the mayor's term from two years to four. She will also be the city's first openly lesbian mayor.

Trump deploys National Guard to Los Angeles amid ICE raid protests
President Trump deployed 2,000 National Guardsmen to Los Angeles on Saturday as protests against Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) rattle the city. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said the move is a result of 'violent mobs' attacking 'Federal Law Enforcement Agents carrying out basic deportation operations' in recent days. 'These operations are essential to halting and reversing the invasion of illegal criminals into the United States. In the wake of this violence, California's feckless Democrat leaders have completely abdicated their responsibility to protect their citizens. That is why President Trump has signed a Presidential Memorandum deploying 2,000 National Guardsmen to address the lawlessness that has been allowed to fester,' she wrote. Trump said California Democrats Gov. Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles Mayor Karen Bass were to blame for the unrest that began as a result of ICE raids. Los Angeles police have not responded to rowdy demonstrations where protestors have vandalized cars and property, according to administration officials. LAPD confirmed they were not involved. 'If Governor Gavin Newscum, of California, and Mayor Karen Bass, of Los Angeles, can't do their jobs, which everyone knows they can't, then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem, RIOTS & LOOTERS, the way it should be solved!!!' Trump wrote in a Saturday Truth Social post. However, Newsom said the federal response is 'inflammatory' and said deploying soldiers 'will erode public trust.' 'LA authorities are able to access law enforcement assistance at a moment's notice,' Newsom wrote in a Saturday X post. 'We are in close coordination with the city and county, and there is currently no unmet need,' he added. A group of over 800 assembled to address their outrage following Friday's raids. Officials from the Department of Homeland Security said demonstrations have spread across the country, leading to several arrests in Los Angeles County and 5 in New York City this week, according to NewsNation reporting. 'Outside a federal law enforcement building in New York City, more than 150 rioters erupted to interfere with ICE's immigration enforcement operations,' DHS wrote on X. 'Thankfully, unlike in Los Angeles, the local police department quickly responded to the riots. So far, NYPD [New York Police Department] has made five arrests,' the post read, adding that those who touch law enforcement officers will be prosecuted.
