A hostile interview between Trump aide Stephen Miller and CNN's Jake Tapper on Sunday was certainly an eyebrow raiser.

As first reported by Business Insider, Miller had to be escorted off set by security following his interview after being asked to "leave several times." A source confirmed the report to Mashable.

The interview on Tapper's State of the Unionshow quickly descended into a shouting match, after the pair initially sparred over the truth in Michael Wolff's new book about Trump's first year in office.

Miller went after CNN and Tapper over "fake news" after he was asked about Trump's mental fitness following the president's tweets on the matter.
