Emily Maitlis totally owned Steve Hilton and it’s a very satisfying watch
David Cameron’s former chief strategist Steve Hilton was on Newsnight and people are enjoying the moment presenter Emily Maitlis had him absolutely bang to rights.
Maitlis challenged Hilton over his failure to challenge conservative commentator and Trump cheerleader Ann Coulter on his Fox News show after she claimed migrant children crying at the US-Mexico border were ‘child actors’.

If you didn’t see the Fox News moment Maitlis is talking about, and want to exactly how much Hilton ‘challenged’ Anne Coulter, you can watch it here.

When he said ‘challenged’ what he obviously meant to say was ‘laugh along with’.
