Chris Cuomo savaged White House insider Stephen Miller as an “ugly, twisted, diseased version of a young man” after the Republican threw a fit over New York primary election results on Wednesday.
A slate of progressive candidates backed by NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani dominated at Tuesday’s polls, unseating two incumbent members of Congress and defeating a third candidate endorsed by an outgoing Democrat.
Afterwards, Miller took to X to accuse Democrats of having “imported a new electorate” to tip the scales left in the latest election.
“Change the voters, change the country,” wrote the White House deputy chief of staff, who is said to be one of the minds behind President Donald Trump’s aggressive deportation agenda.
Claiming that half of NYC residents’ primary language was something other than English and that one-quarter, according to Miller, lacked English “proficiency,” Miller tried to pretend that the Democratic Party was working to radically reshape Congress.

He conveniently ignored the fact New York’s progressive successes sent shockwaves through the Democratic establishment, with many moderate politicians criticizing Mamdani for the upsets.
Even Cuomo, the brother of Mamdani’s arch-mayoral opponent Andrew Cuomo, found Miller’s argument outrageous, using Thursday’s episode of his streaming show “The Chris Cuomo Project ” to call out the MAGA devotee.
The former CNN anchor told viewers that Miller wasn’t helping his party with his stance, saying, “the more MAGA tries to demonize the reaction, the resistance, the stronger it will become.”
“Keep calling them radical. Keep saying they hate the country. See what that does. You’re going to just put more and more people into their ranks,” Cuomo continued. “Why? Because they should be.”

“The more you say that people thinking that what you’re doing is wrong makes them the problem, the more people you’re going to lose,” he went on before taking a vicious turn.
“‘We need real Democrats to come and vote for us,’” Cuomo parroted. “Why the fuck would they vote for you, you ugly little hater? Why would they vote for you?”
“Your head is a metaphor for how unappealing your ideas are,” he seethed. “Your head is like the perfect vessel for the ideas that come out of it. Your ideas look like you. They look like Stephen Miller. Stephen Miller looks like what he’s selling you — this ugly, twisted, diseased version of a young man. Why would they vote? Why would they want to join you?”
Cuomo wasn’t embracing progressives, however, likening Mamdani and company to the Democratic “fringe,” just as Miller’s xenophobic MAGA sect is to Republicans.
