Sen.-elect Abdul El-Sayed (D-MI) hasn’t even taken the oath of office yet, but he’s already making it clear that he will not pull his punches when it comes to criticizing Donald Trump and members of his crime-ridden administration, referring to newly-appointed Chief of Staff Stephen Miller as a “broken man” who is now running “the most dysfunctional White House that we’ve seen.”
El-Sayed made his comment during an appearance on the ABC News Sunday show This Week, remarking, Trump “decides to hire the most broken man to continue to run the most dysfunctional White House that we’ve seen. I don’t know what Stephen Miller has actually contributed to our culture, our society, in any real way, except to make us more angry, to stoke the worst kind of fear and vitriol, to weaponize ICE in our streets, to take American lives.”
“The real question is, why appoint this man White House chief of staff if you want to have a productive relationship with a Congress that actually intends to deliver on the mandate that the American public has just given us?” he added. “We’ll wait to see.”

This guy has the guts. 💪💪💪
Donald Trump wants everybody to be as ugly and sadistic as he is.

So it makes sense he would surround himself with similar Psychopaths and sadists like Stephen Miller.
Within hours of federal agents killing Alex Pretti – while nobody from the federal government thought to contact his father – Stephen Miller was already calling him a “would-be assassin.”

Just so damn refreshing hearing a democrat tear into these incompetent scumbags in such a clear and aggressive way….

Stephen Miller is definitely broken. He is evil.

It's so good to see people like El-Sayed cut out all the BS and get straight to the point, and not in a subtle way. No strongly worded letters from this guy, he'll stand up and tell you exactly what he thinks. It's going to be a lot of fun to watch as his career develops.
