Stephen Miller Erupts When Challenged on Venezuelan Crime Claims

Trump advisor Stephen Miller faced intense scrutiny from a journalist over his unverified statements about Venezuela's crime rates and immigration.

  • Stephen Miller, a senior advisor to Donald Trump, had an on-camera meltdown when questioned about his claims regarding Venezuela's crime rates.
  • Miller asserted that Venezuela has become safer due to its criminals being sent to the U.S., a claim lacking substantiated evidence.
  • Journalist José María Del Pino repeatedly asked Miller to provide sources for his figures, which Miller attributed to official Venezuelan government statistics.
  • Miller's claims align with Trump’s narrative, yet independent sources report only a 25% drop in violent crime in Venezuela, far less than the 60-67% Miller cited.
  • Experts and crime monitoring organizations indicate no evidence that Venezuela is sending convicts to the U.S., contradicting Miller's allegations.
