Stephen Miller may have just accidentally confirmed that he, not President Donald Trump, is the one calling the shots in regard to deportation raids and National Guard deployments.

“Illinois governor says we’re provoking actions that are unlawful,” Miller said on CNN on Monday. “Why would the mere presence—just think about this for a second. If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

    If I put federal law enforcement and National Guard into a nice sleepy Southern town, is anyone gonna riot?”

    Probably, yes.

    The only thing the good ol’ boys hate more than them “liberal queers” is the federal government sticking its nose in their business.

    Ask Cliven Bundy if he’ll put up with the National Guard in his “sleepy” town.

      They’ll take it, because they aren’t actually serious. Also because they’re on the “same team” or some shit.
