Stephen Miller, a top adviser to President-elect Donald Trump, chastised House Republicans during an appearance on Fox’s “Hannity” program Thursday over a massive spending bill that would have hampered the incoming administration.

“Sean, here’s what it comes down to. First and foremost, Donald Trump just won a historic landslide. He is entitled to come into office in January and work on his agenda,” Miller told host Sean Hannity to begin the segment.

“The American people elected him to. He should not have to come into office and immediately be saddled with a government funding expiration followed by a debt ceiling expiration. That is what the current plan would do. He would come into office and immediately have to work on negotiating a debt ceiling hike with Chuck Schumer and an extension of government funding,” he continued.

“That is not consistent with putting Donald Trump in the best possible position to enact the transformative legislative agenda that he campaigned on: historic tax cuts and reforms, an energy revolution, record-setting border security and border protection investments, and the entire agenda to bust inflation and make this economy grow,” Miller added.

Furthermore, as you mention, there are provisions that are in this year and government funding bill that are on their face, unacceptable,” he said. “How are we even having a conversation about a provision that would shield members of the January 6th unselect committee from basic oversight and accountability and investigation? How are we talking about funding global censorship at the State Department?

“And again, how are we talking about sticking President Trump with a debt ceiling expiration at the very beginning of his administration? Set President Trump up for success, set him up to put the agenda he campaigned on into action,” Miller noted further.

Hannity responded: And you know what, maybe they will learn the lesson the hard way. Maybe if they have to work Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, and maybe if they have to do their job. Maybe they will think twice about ignoring deadlines like the beginning of the fiscal year, October 1. Maybe they will get the message that the country is fed up with nearly $40 trillion in debt that we are giving to our kids and grandkids. Maybe they will realize that the principle of limited government is a principle every Republican that cares about working men and women needs to care about. Thoughts?”

“Yes. And maybe — just maybe, working through the holidays as a member of Congress is a small price to pay so that the American people can have all of these incredible things that I just outlined,” Miller replied. “What are a few extra days or weeks of work for members of Congress so that, again, President Trump can come in and he can work with Congress to pass historic border reform, historic tax reforms, historic energy reforms, historic the regulatory reforms and get this country into a position of strength, dominance and security that it has never known?

“Why in God’s name are we not giving President Trump the best possible chance of doing exactly that in January?
