Newly reported quotes show that a heated segment between CNN’s Jake Tapper and White House adviser Stephen Miller continued off-camera on Sunday, with Tapper telling Miller, “Don’t act so offended.”
CBS News producer Arden Farhi obtained the back-and-forth, which occurred just after Tapper abruptly ended the interview by stating Miller had “wasted enough of my viewers’ time.”
……
“Jake, what I care about is having three minutes to tell the truth about the president of the United States,” Miller said to Tapper after “State of the Union” cut to commercial.
“You had plenty of time,” Tapper said. “I let you give like a three-minute filibuster at the very top.”
“You gave me two minutes,” Miller shot back, later adding, “You should be ashamed of yourself. Honestly.”
“This is the reason they don’t put you out on TV,” Tapper said. “OK? This is the reason.”
“You spent the entire interview attacking CNN … OK, so don’t act all offended,” the host added later in the exchange.
“I’m not acting offended,” Miller said. “I am offended. I’m offended by you and I’m offended by your network.”
Miller reportedly was escorted off the set by CNN security after refusing to leave after that.
