CNN reporter Jim Acosta on Monday took a shot at White House adviser Stephen Miller, who accused Acosta last week of “cosmopolitan bias,” over a report that Miller lives in a Washington, D.C. apartment that cost nearly $1 million.

“When I was 28, I was a local reporter in Dallas renting a studio apartment,” Acosta tweeted. “But we did have a nice pool.”

The Washington Post reported Monday, citing property records, that Miller lives in upscale downtown D.C. development CityCenter, in a condo he bought for $973,000 with a monthly fee of nearly $1,800. Per the report, the buyer for the condo was listed as a company with the same address as the real estate company Miller’s father owns.

Miller’s apartment building is billed as “the new ideal for sophisticated, modern, urban living,” a set of adjectives that collectively barely steer clear of the accusation he lobbed at Acosta during a contentious exchange at a White House press briefing last week.

Pressed to defend President Donald Trump’s proposed changes to the green card application process, Miller accused Acosta of “cosmopolitan bias.”

  1. And he still can’t get anyone to call him the Gangster of Love.

  2. “Per the report, the buyer for the condo was listed as a company with the same address as the real estate company Miller’s father owns.”

    So Stephen Miller still lives in his parent’s basement.

  3. When right wingers denounce “the elite(s),” they aren’t denouncing money or the things money can buy. They are upset that their money can’t buy acceptance. They are self-conscious, and it gets to them. I’ve always thought that Bonwit-Teller was torn down and Trump Tower built because someone at Bonwit’s probably ignored Trump’s mother.

  4. How classically conservative… daddy bought him his condo.

    I guess he shares that, along with his hatred of non-whites, with twitler

  5. OoOoooo, I think I see some boot straps! Nope, it’s apron strings…
