Stephen Miller blasted a reporter as cosmopolitan. But he lives in a $1 million CityCenter condo.

White House senior adviser Stephen Miller famously used the adjective “cosmopolitan” to insult CNN’s Jim Acosta during an exchange in the White House briefing room last week, implying that the journalist somehow bore an air of swampy elitism.

But wait, what’s that expression about people in glass houses?

It turns out that Miller calls home a nearly $1 million condo in CityCenter, one of Washington’s poshest addresses and a complex that proudly offers residents an upscale, urbane lifestyle. With high-end international retailers such as Hermès and Gucci on the street level alongside fancy Italian, Asian and French eateries, the building is billed as “the new ideal for sophisticated, modern, urban living.” Also in the marketing materials is the slogan: “You are where you live.”

Which would make Miller … well, pretty cosmopolitan, in a city that is arguably among the most cosmopolitan in the world.

The property is owned by a company called Stephen Miller Cordary, Inc. Cordary is a real estate company owned by Miller's father.

Remember Stephen Miller has background with Alt-Right (American Nazi) Robert Spencer.

13. The term as used by Miller is not referring to money or sophistication. It refers to "outsiders."
