Remember back when the New York Times published an anti-Trump piece from an anonymous “senior-level official” in the Trump administration? CNN’s Chris Cillizza guessed that Anonymous might have been Vice President Mike Pence or Kellyanne Conway. It turns out Anonymous wasn’t Pence or even a “high-level staffer” — Miles Taylor was a former chief of staff at the Department of Homeland Security.
Now the whole world knows the name Miles Taylor, and he was on an MSNBC panel hosted by Nicolle Wallace and featuring such luminaries as Yamiche Alcindor and former Planned Parenthood president Cecile Richards. The Washington Free Beacon captured a clip of Taylor saying that it wasn’t hyperbole that MAGA Republicans want to kill him.
Miles Taylor: "[Republicans] want to kill me. Because I’m going out there and saying the Republican party, my party, has been corrupted, they want to kill me. And that’s not hyperbole." pic.twitter.com/DXSrvDso3N

Who is Miles Taylor? Seriously, I have no idea.

That's hilarious… maybe a dozen people know who he is. He's a footnote to a footnote…

🤣 Miles, no one knows who you are, or cares enough to want you dead. Leave us alone and stroke your broken ego somewhere else

Well, God forbid he ends up dead tomorrow, at least we all know his name.
