Anyone faced with attacks on Vice President Kamala Harris for never having met Donald Trump in advance of next week’s debate should keep in mind Tim Miller’s fiery retort. It was even more enjoyable for also destroying the ever-obnoxious Piers Morgan on his own show.
Miller is a former Republican operative turned never-Trumper. On Morgan’s show, he was en fuego as he responded to an effort to paint Harris as ineffective for not having met Trump. “Do you know why Trump and Kamala Harris have never met, Pierce? Did you think? Have you thought about it for a second? Do you know why they really haven't met?” Miller began.
“Tell me,” Morgan replied.
“Because he is a toddler and he threw a temper tantrum after he lost a fair election, and for the first time in America since the Civil War, we did not have a peaceful transfer of power,” Miller said. “We did not have a ceremonial transfer of power with a former president, like a man goes and stands on the stage and greets the next incoming president, where he helps the incoming team with the transition, where the vice president's team meets with the - that didn't happen last time, because Donald Trump attempted a coup and he had a temper tantrum and he flew home to Mar-a-Lago just to go golfing.”
Morgan tried to interrupt. “To be clear, at the time, I heavily criticized him for all the things you’ve just said, but that doesn’t explain why…” he began.
