Stephen Miller was met with an “uncomfortable silence” when he tried to demand loyalty from Texas House Republicans during a closed-door meeting, according to reports.
The White House deputy chief of staff met with Texas lawmakers last week to try to push them to pass more hardline immigration policies in the red state.
The four-hour meeting got off to an embarrassing start for the top Donald Trump ally when Miller asked, “Do we have a RINO problem in Texas?”—using the insulting acronym for “Republican in name only” that MAGA supporters use against GOP lawmakers deemed too moderate or insufficiently loyal to the president’s ultra-conservative agenda.
