White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller has responded to Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem after she tried to blame him for the fatal shooting of Alex Pretti in Minnesota. This blame game shows how worried senior officials are about the growing public anger.
According to The Daily Beast, hours after Noem’s comments came out, Miller released a statement trying to shift blame away from himself and onto the Customs and Border Patrol (CBP) agents involved. Noem told a source that everything she did was “at the direction of the president and Stephen.” This is a clear attempt to protect herself by hiding behind the president and her colleague.
