It’s Miller Time in the West Wing, and congressional Democrats are reacting with all the calm and measured poise of a cat thrown into a bathtub.

The announcement that immigration hardliner Stephen Miller is taking over as White House Chief of Staff has sent Capitol Hill Dems into full-blown panic-meltdown mode.

Within hours of the news, Democratic lawmakers were practically tripping over their own microphones to issue warnings. Rep. Robert Garcia went straight for the TV-drama classic, telling Miller to “lawyer up.”

Not to be outdone in the rhetorical gymnastics department, House Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries dialed the drama up to eleven, comparing Miller’s role to a “malignant tumor” that needs to be “eradicated.”

Between the armchair oncology metaphors and the breathless cable news warnings, Democrats are treating the appointment like the arrival of a political supervillain. What does that mean to us? It means that President Trump definitely picked the right person.

Unfortunately for the Dems, left-wing outrage doesn’t slow Miller down at all. In fact, it usually just powers him for the day.

In a Facebook post over the weekend, Miller said, “President Trump is the most transformative political leader in American History – and he has single-handedly saved America from those who would destroy it. It has been the privilege of my lifetime to have served on his team from Day One, and I am honored beyond words to serve as his White House Chief of Staff.”

He closed the post saying, “The mission now is more clear than ever: Fight with all of our soul to support our President and defend this magnificent Republic.”
