Stephen Miller knows absolutely nothing about New York City & has no business speaking on anything related to NYC. He also doesn’t know a thing about the history of New York City.
New Yorkers don’t care for his input.

Deputy director of the FBI is usually a veteran agent. Patel had just told the FBI Agents Association it should be an agent. Then Dan Bongino was selected. He’s a loyalist & not an agent.
NYT:
“The apparent disconnect in selecting Mr. Bongino has intensified mistrust among the rank and file.”

TikTok name checking Trump & how “fortunate” it is that he takes office soon to find a solution
But nothing about how banning TikTok in the U.S. was basically Trump’s idea (& his Aug 6, 2020 executive order put it in motion)

BUT… There’s NO general analogy to be made between music and sports. So the argument he’s trying to make fails right out of the gate.
