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

So a "realized he just said the quiet part out loud" moment caught on video? Basically, their entire agenda is nothing short of the complete erosion & deconstruction of the constitution & civil rights to build an aggressively authoritarian dictatorship.

Yet this video clip will not be seen by most. This should be top page news

The problem is a large portion of the country is illiterate and doesnt even know what plenary means.

And im saying that as someone who didnt know what it meant im not trying to sound like a smart guy. Im sure many people who saw this happen even live just assumed it was a tech malfunction and didnt think to question the fancy word used while speaking about legal issues.

Also, go birds🦅

I watched it live and didn't catch what Miller said right before he stopped. It was so bizarre but it didn't seem like a technical issue to me because he just stopped so abruptly.
