His face becomes more evil day after day

Matt, you do not speak for the Lebanese people nor are you their colonial saviour

[bondoselari]

America has no right to demand for a new leader for a sovereign country.

[aroidaddiction]

Matt Miller: "We don't want a regime change in Lebanon. We just need them to change their regime by adding one of our guys as their president"🤦‍♂️

[dalalaljabri]

No body from Lebanon asked for your help 😡

[sailbroker]

Izrael using Americans as human shields. The irony.

[j.c.a.]

Still insisting a regime change in Palestine and in Lebanon; why then the US does not insist a regime change in Israel.? The journalists must ask this question.

[charlespirate]

Translation of his first answer: “Isreal hasn’t told me how to justify the attack yet”

[tocnawan]

Miller's last answer was essentially, "We don't want a regime change, we just want to see a changing of regimes...". Got it.

Who the hell do America think they are, deciding who leads countries, go home and mind your own business🇵🇸🇮🇪

[asbi]

Who decides who is a terrorist? You guys considered Nelson Mandala as a terrorist until 2008.

[imaanhanif]

Why does anyone show up to question him, isn't it pointless 🤔

[m.l.b.-j.u.]

When will the damn reporters point out that the occupation is where the resistance was formed

[AjAj-yhkv]

The word terrorism doesn't mean anything anymore

[SS-ynoc]

But according to this genocide apologist, Israel has the right to go after Netanyuhu, right? Didn't he financially support Hamas?

[OGD]

Imagine being in a relationship with this guy

[RoyWhearty]

If Israel is found guilty of Genocide, what does that make the USA?

[seninazhar]

Miller’s hypocrisy continues to contradict himself as days go by…😂

[ChristiansOfPalestine]

Lebanon wants a new US president. get on it, Matt

[EnidblytonHJ]

Well done to the reporter for pushing MM who is being deliberately obtuse. Not pushing for regime, change, just wanting the Lebanese to elect someone different. Got it.
