Overview

• Tiffany Cross told CNN’s NewsNight that it is “journalistic integrity” to state as fact that White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller is a white supremacist.
• Her remarks followed a clip of Miller, speaking from the White House, praising the National Guard deployment in Washington, D.C., and claiming residents feel safer and are “wearing their watches again.”
• The discussion quickly devolved into crosstalk as panelist Arthur Aidala challenged Cross and questioned her experience with public transit, prompting a tense back‑and‑forth.
• Cross cited the Southern Poverty Law Center’s 2019 Hatewatch review of Miller’s leaked emails and The Washington Post’s coverage, which reported he promoted white nationalist material.
• Miller’s claims about crime reductions and credit for the Guard deployment were disputed by other panelists, leaving the issue as a media and political fight over characterization rather than a new official finding.
