"Why are you yelling?” the reporter asked as Trump’s senior adviser refused to clarify the source of information he was spreading about Venezuela’s crime rate.

Trump senior adviser Stephen Miller had an on-camera meltdown after being asked by a journalist to back up questionable claims he was making about Venezuela’s crime rate, video of the episode posted to social media shows.

The four-minute video shows an emotional Miller yelling at NTN24 reporter José María del Pino on Tuesday after del Pino questioned Miller over his claims that Venezuela has become safer than the United States because its convicts are now all in the U.S.

Miller also repeated a since-debunked story that a Venezuelan gang has taken over Colorado apartment complexes.

    It also beautifully displayed how fragile they are. Just push them a tiny bit and they go apoplectic that you don’t just swallow their bullshit like their eager sycophants.

      Yeah, it’s very easy to set them off and make them lose it by just being consistent and not backing down or following their rambling.

      This reporter showed exactly how every question put to them should be handled.
