Stephen Miller Says CNN Refusing To Book Him On Their Airwaves

White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller told Fox News host Sean Hannity on Wednesday that CNN was refusing to book him for appearances to “rebut” the network’s “lies.”

Miller’s last appearance on the network was Oct. 6, when he clashed with “CNN News Central” co-host Boris Sanchez over immigration enforcement operations by United States Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE). Hannity described Miller’s appearances on CNN as a favorite of Fox News viewers.

“Did you really get banned, I read it today, from CNN? That was some of the best material we had ever had on the program, in the history of the program, is you schooling these hosts, and now — I guess they might have figured out that its ratings goal for this program. Did you really get banned?” Hannity asked Miller, who responded, “Yes, Sean, I think they — I think that your decision to play the clips of me on CNN has resulted in CNN refusing to take me, so this is a completely true story.”

“So over the last few days, our brilliant White House communications shop has reached out to CNN, which, of course, is running one fake news hit piece after another, and they said, ‘Stephen Miller would like to come on your network to rebut any of these lies,’” Miller continued. “And they asked, ‘What show?’ They said ‘Stephen Miller will do any show from dawn to dusk.’ They said ‘What topic?’ The White House said, ‘Stephen is available to discuss any topic with any host at any time. As far as you’re concerned, Stephen has no scheduling conflicts at all. He’ll make himself available from the first hour of air to the last hour of air on any subject.’ And CNN’s response was, ‘We will not take him, period, for any show on any topic.’ That’s completely true, Sean.”
