Watch Irony Getting Murdered on Live Television by Trump Official

Remember the days when calling someone a communist actually meant something? Well, those days are apparently back, thanks to Stephen Miller's latest meltdown on Fox News.

The architect of Trump's "papers please" immigration policies treated Sean Hannity's viewers to a masterclass in irony as he railed against what he called "communist left-wing judges" who dared to suggest that maybe, just maybe, we shouldn't deport people without due process.

The Meltdown Heard 'Round Fox News

In a performance that would make Joseph McCarthy proud, Miller declared with his trademark whiny intensity that "the Democrat Party has become the party of terrorists and illegal aliens."

But wait, there's more! He went on to explain how these dastardly Democrats "move heaven and earth to protect illegal alien gang members and foreign terrorists."

The real gem came when Miller, apparently forgetting which judges were appointed by whom, delivered this breathless ultimatum:

"This is the choice facing every American: either we all side and get behind President Trump to remove these terrorists from our communities, or we let a rogue radical left judiciary shut down the machinery of our national security apparatus."

Plot Twist: Those "Communist" Judges? They're Actually Conservative

Here's where the irony gets so thick you could spread it on toast. Many of these supposedly communist judges throwing wrenches into Trump's deportation machine are actually conservative appointees.

Gasp!

I know, right?

Take Judge J. Harvie Wilkinson III, a Reagan appointee and card-carrying conservative who had the audacity to suggest that maybe we shouldn't deport people without checking if we're actually deporting the right person.

The nerve of this communist infiltrator!

The Case of the Dangerous... checks notes... Makeup Artist

Miller proudly announced that the administration had found "300 ring leaders and top members" of the Tren de Aragua terrorist organization.

Impressive! Except when you look at who's actually being deported, you find:

• A gay makeup artist (clearly a national security threat with those perfectly blended contours).

• A professional soccer player (those penalty kicks could be weapons of mass destruction).

• A young father whose crime was... existing.

The Supreme Irony Court

But surely the Supreme Court, with its conservative majority, would back Miller's crusade? Well, about that... Even Trump's own appointees have been joining the "communist" resistance.

Chief Justie John Roberts, Brett Kavanaugh, Neil Gorsuch, and Amy Coney Barrett, that well-known Marxist revolutionary (checks notes again... or was it Trump who appointed her?), joined liberal justices in calling for a halt to some deportations.

The "Temu Goebbels" Special

Social media users haven't missed the irony either, dubbing Miller "Temu Goebbels" – a reference to his bargain-basement propaganda style.

It's like getting your fascism from Wish.com: you ordered Goebbels, but what arrived was a whiny guy in an ill-fitting suit ranting about makeup artists on Fox News.

The Grand Finale

Miller wrapped up his performance with a promise that

"President Trump will make this nation safer than ever before, despite the fighting and opposition of the Democrat Party […] opposition of the communist left-wing judges, and the […] opposition of the bureaucratic establishment."

Because nothing says "making America safe" like ignoring the Constitution, right?

In the end, Miller's televised tantrum served as a perfect metaphor for the current state of Trumpian politics: lots of sound and fury, signifying nothing but the death of irony.

And somewhere, in the great beyond, Joseph McCarthy is watching and thinking, "Dude, maybe tone it down a notch."
