White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller vowed Tuesday on Fox News’ “Hannity” that the administration will “dismantle” radical left-wing terror groups “one by one” across the United States under President Donald Trump’s new National Security Presidential Memorandum (NSPM) executive order.
The comments came amid escalating political tensions following the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk — an act that some Democrats openly celebrated online. Miller, who has faced accusations of being a “fascist” on social media, said the Democratic Party has transformed into one that “openly aids and encourages and foments violence.”
“We all lived through the unspeakable tragedy of two nearly successful assassination attempts on President Trump. A bullet came within a centimeter of taking his life. We watched in agony and horror as a crazed left-wing terrorist murdered Charlie Kirk just while he’s giving a speech having a debate on a college campus. We watched the UnitedHealthcare CEO get gunned down in cold blood. We saw just days ago a sniper try to take out ICE officers,” Miller said. “What do all of these killers and assassins have in common?”
“They’ve been radicalized by Democrat Party rhetoric that describes anyone who doesn’t share their warped, twisted worldview as fascist, worthy, by implication of execution,” Miller continued. “They are using this language to mark people, to put a target on them.”
He accused Democrats of creating a climate of impunity for left-wing violence: “Then on top of all of that, what else do they do? When Antifa, when these left-wing terrorists attack our law enforcement, Democrat judges won’t put them in jail. Democrat-led police departments refuse to arrest them. Democrat mayors and governors refuse to pursue them. So when violence is openly occurring against the targets that they have named and identified, they will not arrest the violent agitators.”
“That’s when you change the formal national security policy of the country. So President Trump issued an NSPM last week that for the first time ever establishes a national counterterrorism strategy to dismantle these radical left-wing terror groups, including but not limited to Antifa,” Miller said.
“President Trump’s going to find the members. He’s going to find the funders. He’s going to find the violent terrorists. He’s going to find everybody involved in these criminal conspiracies. And one by one, we’re going to dismantle them,” Miller said.
