White House adviser Stephen Miller allegedly jumping into a high school girl’s track race during his earlier days is one of the funniest things imaginable.

The New York Times published a long profile of Miller, and most of it is really boring, but it’s worth the read just to get into what he was like in high school.

They reported in part:

He jumped, uninvited, into the final stretch of a girls’ track meet, apparently intent on proving his athletic supremacy over the opposite sex. (The White House, reaching for exculpatory context, noted that this was a girls’ team from another school, not his own.)

I have a billion different thoughts on this situation, but I’ll stick to the important ones. Jumping into a girl’s track race just to show off that men are better athletes is one of the funniest troll jobs I’ve ever heard of.

It’s also incredible that the White House had to note “that this was a girls’ team from another school, not his own.”

What does that matter? I guess it makes it even funnier that the athletes wouldn’t know who he was, but I don’t think it’s necessarily an airtight defense.

Finally, how are we only just hearing about this now? The Trump administration has had plenty of hilarious stories, but nothing comes close to employing a guy who once jumped into a women’s track race. I know lots of people don’t like Miller, but you are a prude if this story doesn’t at least make you think he’s comical.

Stephen Miller: presidential adviser and grade-A troll when it comes to women’s sports.
