Couldn’t find an article with video, but here’s the clip:

It’s not just disconcerting that he said the president has full and unmitigated authority…

It’s that after he said it, he realized his best move was to fucking pretend he froze. That’s how real it is, he just isn’t supposed to say it yet

And since CNN refused to press it and went along with an obvious fake freeze, they get an obligatory: Fuck CNN.

he said the president has full and unmitigated authority

Again. He said it again.

The man has said all of this before, he just had some mental “event” happen this time that got too much light to shine on the nonsense he babbles, so now liberal America is suddenly looking at this weird little freak. I mean, I guess it’s good, but I feel like I’m taking crazy-pills here, when I heard Miller saying YEARS AGO that the president has “total authority” and the “power to do whatever he wants.”
