Stephen Miller poked back at Pete Hegseth on Wednesday after the defense secretary said he wouldn’t trust Miller to babysit his kids.
In an exchange shared by the White House’s rapid response team, Fox News host Jesse Watters reminded Miller of Hegseth’s lack of confidence in him as a caregiver.
“Did he just say anybody can watch my kids except Miller?” Watters asked the White House deputy chief of staff.
“I think, in fairness, he’s worried that if I babysat his kids, that he’d come back after a couple hours and they would say, ‘Daddy, why don’t you send the military into Minnesota to help us with the Somali refugees?’” Miller joked.
Miller’s lighthearted reference to the Trump administration’s new targeting of Somali immigrants in Minnesota perhaps didn’t land as expected with many.
