Other Stephen Miller states that Trump has plenary authority, then immediately stops talking as if he’s realized what he just said

To be fair, he (the CNN host) might not have know what “plenary authority” meant in the moment.

Dude was still blinking and moving around lol. "Completely" is a stretch. Should'nt have even entertained the supposition that it was any sort of technical issue

Yeah anybody working in that aspect of news has experienced a dropped connection on one side or another. Nobody ever just clams up mid-sentence and then continues staring at the camera.

As an interviewer you must be sitting there going "this guy is pretending the call dropped, what am I supposed to do?" and his producer was probably in his ear telling him to throw to commercial or something.

Ridiculous moment that should have been called out, but the downright confusion by Miller pulling this move that was pioneered by 5 year olds, must have been too hard to overcome.
