Acosta should have asked Miller

[SHRED]

"You mentioned "cosmopolitan'. Do you consider the President and his family to be cosmopolitan?"

1. He Would Have Said No

Stephen Miller would have said no. Miller and other Republicans think your words, not your actions determine whether a term such as "cosmopolitan" applies to you. In Miller's mind, neither he nor Trump are "cosmopolitan". Their worldviews prevent them from being "cosmopolitan". In Miller's mind it does not matter that he and Trump came from rich families, lived in liberal cities, and still live in upscale urban/cosmopolitan areas. They are not "cosmopolitan" because they disagree with the liberals who live in those same areas and have shared the same life experiences. That is why a Newt Gingrich can attempt to lecture a Barack Obama about family values even though Gingrich's life is more of a mess than Obama's life. That is also why people on the right were able to embrace Trump, but not Obama. With the right, on many occasions, words, not actions, residences, and lifestyles, matter.

3. So true

2. Miller would still have answered

"Jim, Jim, Jim"...because you know it makes him sound like an authority when he uses another person's name to try to denigrate that person.

I've noticed that the use of the journalists' names are a common occurrence in the Trumping administration. It cannot be an accident.

4. It's gross

6. I wish Acosta would have shouted back but "Steve, Steve, Steve"

I would love to see the journalists flip the tables on them....

7. Oh me, too!!!

I think the journalists are still trying to hold on to a shred of dignity. You can see the veins popping out on Acosta's face and neck when he's just having to sit there and "take it" from the jerks.

5. Miller would have fallen back on his faux outrage....nt
