Exactly the conclusion I came to, and I watched this exchange twice. Acosta came off as whiny, pouty, and clearly out of his league.
Miller may have convinced you with his presentation, but he was mistaken.

I would think that at least Rubio would also oppose it as both his parents came here as poor, non-English speaking immigrants. The implication of this bill is that his parents did not deserve the opportunity to emigrate to the US. If I were him, I'd have a hard time looking either of my parents in the eye after voting for such a bill, particularly as everything they sacrificed in their own life enabled him to be successful.

You are defending rhetoric that is purposefully appealing to the Alt-Right base.
That makes you a Nazi sympathizer. An before you go off on me, understand, silence is complicity and I will not remain silent.
This is nothing more that promoting the views and ideals of white surpremeicsts.
It's not just people like PP and Donald Trump and Miller who should be held responsible for promoting the views and ideals of white supremacists, it is also people like McMaster and Kelly who should be held responsible. Either one could fire Miller; instead they sign off on sending Miller out on stage to defend proposed Administration in white nationalist terms. Both of them are generals and probably think their job is to follow the orders of the President. But, generals also have an obligation (and swear an oath) to defend the Constitution. When these obligations come into conflict, their greater obligation is to the Constitution...
If Kelly and McMaster continue to permit this kind of white nationalist rhetoric to spew from the White House, I hope they are both personally tarred by it.
What in God's name are both of you PPs rattling on about? The fact that you equate a common sense immigration bill and the man who delivered the information to the press as "white nationalist rhetoric" and "Nazi sympathizer" just shows how utterly off the deep end you liberals have gone. There was nothing whatsoever racist or xenophobic about what Miller said. In fact, he even called out Acosta for his stupid remark that only people in the UK, Canada, and Australia speak fluent English. Miller pointed out how incredibly narrow-minded Acosta was for suggesting those are the only groups of people who could possibly speak English fluently. And you're calling Miller "white nationalist"?? Get your facts straight.

You are vile.
I love the bitter desperation of the left who can't take it when someone of superior intelligence can unflinchingly take the heat from a uninformed reporter.
Miller could have gone an hour.
It's hilariously obvious that Acosta now acts this way merely to make some sort of name for himself.
Keep bringing it Jimbo.
Right, Miller showed his intelligence and full grasp of the topic at hand. Jimbo, as you call him, was merely repeating talking points. On CNN last night he and Angela, his fellow crony, were patting themselves on the back for being troopers in the war against Trump. Jimbo, you couldn't hold a candle to one of our military soldiers who are in actual danger, you are a JOKE as is anyone who wants to defend your ignorance. Sixty countries Jimbo, sixty, they all speak English. Jesus, come away from the mirror and open a book.
Well said.

I am just amazed that anyone rationalizes Acosta's rant.
I obviously did not vote for Trump and I think Miller's motivations are questionable but I watched the news conference and he was intellectually head and shoulders above the likes of Acosta. Miller went to Duke and Acosta to JMU - colleges don't always tell everything about intellectual prowess but in this case, I think it does tell the story.

Saw the interaction yesterday. 100% correct. Need more of this. Reason thinks of themselves as elite and need taking down a few pegs
You are defending White Nationalist propaganda. I hope you can live with yourself.
Not the PP, but I hope you can live with yourself by slapping the "white nationalist" label onto every person you disagree with. Do you know how ignorant you sound?
