The internet mocked White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller after he told Fox News that politicians should serve for “love of the game” and “not for personal enrichment.”

Miller was talking to conservative host Will Cain when he described the late Sen. Lindsey Graham (R-SC) and his dedication and work ethic. The comment raised eyebrows after reports of President Donald Trump and his family raking in billions — between crypto schemes and defense technology investments — during the president’s second administration.
“You want senators who love being a senator, who embrace what it means, who embrace the opportunity, who seek no personal enrichment,” Miller said.
Social media commentators noted the remarks.
