During a recent White House press briefing on February 20, 2025, The Gateway Pundit’s Jordan Conradson challenged the liberal media’s narrative surrounding Elon Musk and the Trump Administration’s efforts to tackle bureaucratic corruption. White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller delivered a scathing rebuke to these media outlets, providing them with a civics lesson in response to accusations labeling Musk as a “dangerous unelected bureaucrat.”
Miller’s remarks came after Conradson pointed out the irony in criticisms of Musk, especially considering his contributions to cutting billions in waste, fraud, and abuse in government. Conradson asked, “Isn’t one of DOGE’s objectives to get rid of the federal bureaucracy, the deep state?” Miller responded by highlighting the media’s failure to report on Joe Biden’s incompetence during his presidency. He said, “many of the people in this room, for four years, failed to cover the fact that Joe Biden was mentally incompetent and was not running the country.” Miller argued that the true threat to democracy lies with “the unelected bureaucracy of lifetime, tenured civil servants.”
He emphasized the role of the president as the singular official elected by the entire nation, tasked with executing the democratic will through appointed staff. Miller criticized the unelected bureaucrats who, despite the voters’ mandate, refuse to implement reform, stating, “Americans vote for radical FBI reform, and FBI agents say they don’t want to change.” It is clear from his assertions that the Trump Administration is committed to purging non-compliant bureaucrats.
In addition to Miller’s compelling defense of the administration, National Economic Council Director Kevin Hassett addressed President Trump’s fiscal strategies, specifically regarding the proposal to replace the federal income tax with revenue from tariffs. Hasset affirmed this possibility amidst significant cuts in waste, fraud, and abuse, noting an anticipated revenue of “between 500 billion and a trillion dollars over 10 years” from tariffs on foreign imports. This strategy, Hassett explained, is aligned with Trump’s vision and is expected to facilitate the passage of necessary bills through Congress. “…tariff revenue is actually going to make it much easier for Republicans to pass a bill,” Hassett stated confidently.
The achievements of the Trump Administration, even within this short timeframe, have been significant and warrant acknowledgment. Yet, liberal media outlets persist in pushing a misleading narrative, ignoring the administration’s commitment to fostering governmental efficiency and integrity.
