Watch his full interview. He says Israelis have committed war crimes, but denies the state of Israel is committing war crimes as a matter of policy, and denies that they’re committing genocide.
Matt Miller must be held accountable for his role in this crime.
the people of .world downvoted me for pointing out that this guy was covering for war crimes in 30 second video bites while he was doing it; i doubt very much that they're going to bother watching a 30+ minute interview.
.world is circlejerking about how happy Iranians are that Israel is bombing them. They are living up to their reputation.
it's so much like reddit that i suspect it'll end up the same way.
Miller isn’t alone. The Biden-era spokespeople for the genocide included the White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre and the deputy state department spokesperson Vedant Patel, as well as Jake Sullivan, a primary policymaker for an addled president, who represented the actual center of power along with John Kirby, a former admiral, and Antony Blinken, the former secretary of state. The group spent the period from October 2023 to January 2025 lying to an anguished public. They lied scornfully (Jean-Pierre) or gleefully (Miller), mawkishly (Kirby and Blinken), or blandly (Patel and Sullivan). And they did it every day, for 15 months.
They told extravagant lies: Hamas beheaded 40 babies. They told savage lies about “command and control” centers under al-Shifa hospital – they told us not to believe what we’d seen and to believe what they couldn’t show us. They lied about Israeli investigations and Biden’s humanity, his capacity for “empathy”. Every lie they told was consequential, about infants in incubators; about the execution of Hind Rajab, a child; and about the way in which their pier was used to facilitate an Israeli massacre.
They lied about the things that matter most. They lied to obscure a genocide, spinning whorls of confusion.
Surely he could've seen that coming?
Miller is one of the most loathsome little toads I've ever witnessed.
This useless coward should be held up as an. example of doing the right thing.
