Stephen Miller Reminds Picky-Eater Son That There Starving Kids In Basement

ARLINGTON, VA—In an apparent attempt to guilt his children into eating their vegetables Monday, White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller reportedly reminded one of his sons, a picky eater, that there were starving boys and girls in the basement who didn’t get to have any food at all.

“Think of the poor, famished children beneath these very floorboards who are forced to go days on end without food or water, and then see if you still don’t want to eat your broccoli,” said Miller, encouraging his son to listen to the cries of hunger emanating from the floor vents and imagine himself shackled in the dark alongside the malnourished children in the cellar.

“Some kids from other countries, whom I have captured, are lucky to be fed one measly table scrap a day. You’re very lucky to live on the floor of the house that you do, rather than down below among Daddy’s prey. You could just as easily have been born in a much poorer place, in which case I’d only be feeding you to prolong the suffering. Now open up for the airplane.”

At press time, sources confirmed Miller’s picky-eater son had been sent to the torture room without dessert.
