Stephen Miller, aka @redsteeze, was there, live-tweeting the event for those of us who weren’t lucky enough to see it in person:

I’m trying to be very still taking pictures of Mattis. I don’t want to startle him & his vision is based on movement pic.twitter.com/8mQsV08AG6

Mattis just jumped out of his chair and snapped the neck of a photographer because the sound of the shutter was too loud. pic.twitter.com/b8a5D8UrX5

Miller might be exaggerating just a little bit … but is there anyone here who doesn’t want to believe that Mattis would totally say or do any of this stuff?
Anyway, we shouldn’t be too disappointed if the interview didn’t go quite like Miller described. Because this actually happened:
