Katie Miller, White House advisor’s wife stephen millerAppeared on CNN in a segment that quickly turned into a shouting match.
There were huge fireworks on Friday episode Former South Carolina Democratic Rep. Bakari Sellers outed white supremacist after CNN Newsnight Nick Fuentes’ recent appearance on Tucker Carlson’s show. Sellers labeled Fuentes a “misogynist” and “anti-Semitic,” but said “he’s the guy who has the pulse of the Republican base right now.”
Miller took issue with his description of Fuentes as “keeping the pulse” of the GOP. “This is what the Democrats want to say to divide the Republican base, but it’s not true.” He said he “absolutely” disagreed with Fuentes’s views but defended his right to free speech.
Host Abby Phillip then tried to steer the conversation away from whether he could speak freely and instead toward Carlson’s influence in the conservative media sphere.
Miller then turned the comments on Philip. He specifically pointed to podcast host Jennifer Welch, who has been critical of Miller’s husband, including calling the Trump aide an “A.” “White supremacist” and “Nazi Jew” In October.
“You had Jennifer Welch on your show often and you never held back,” Miller said, referring to the liberal podcaster who criticized her husband. “He called my husband a white nationalist — it’s no different than Nick Fuentes going on Tucker Carlson’s show.”
“Wait, wait. How is this similar? This is not similar at all. Nick Fuentes sits around and says he likes Hitler. How is this similar?” Philip hit back, saying that Miller was comparing Fuentes to “a liberal who has opinions that are not neo-Nazis.”
Miller clarified that she was making a comparison between Phillippe and Carlson, and said that both did not back down from their guests’ opinions. “It’s no different, Abby, it’s not,” she insisted.
Phillippe said that she would never invite anyone on the show who said they loved Adolf Hitler, because “those two things are not the same.”
The CNN host then asked Miller if Welch was “allowed to say anything negative about your husband?”
“In the same way Nick Fuentes He has a right to say what he wants to say,” Miller replied. “No difference.”
Miller said it was “absolutely” OK for Welch to comment on her husband, but then took a dig at Philip: “And it’s your job as a moderator to push back on that.” He defended Carlson: “It’s like you asking Tucker Carlson to put pressure on Nick Fuentes.”
Philip contrasted Welch’s and Fuentes’ comments. Fuentes “isn’t calling anyone else a Nazi, he’s saying: ‘I admire Nazis,'” Philip retorted. “Don’t you think this is different?”
Miller called it an “equally fair comparison”, to which Philip said she was comparing two things that “are not similar in any way.”
In her show, Philippa says that she does not support the opinions of her guests and is not responsible for them.
Earlier in the episode, Philip mentioned Vice President JD Vance’s denial To condemn Carlson after the Fuentes episode. The CNN host concluded the segment by saying that he believes it is up to the Republican Party to decide how to proceed.
“Do they care that someone with a loud voice in their party is bringing in someone who is encouraging neo-Nazism?” Philip asked. “We’ll have to leave it there.”
