CNN Chief Intel Analyst Spends Afternoon Watering Down MN Shooter’s Hatred
28th August 2025
With a long career in both the news media and the highest echelons of the New York Police Department (NYPD), John Miller has been one of the top media experts in everything from terror attacks to mass shootings like Wednesday’s massacre at Minneapolis’s Annunciation Catholic School.
It’s with that foundation that Miller beclowned himself all afternoon by watering down and dismissing the transgender shooter’s hatred of Christians, Jews, and President Trump (in addition to having attended the school and the shooter’s mother having recently retired from the school).
From one of his first hits to analysis just after 6:00 p.m. Eastern, Miller offered one mealymouthed excuse after another, declaring there “won’t” ever “be a specific motive” since the best explanation for the attack was that “he was in pain” and “hated everybody.”
