White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller blasted Democrats on Fox News’ “Hannity” Monday night, defending President Donald Trump’s crackdown on crime and the deployment of the National Guard in Washington, D.C.
Miller said the capital had seen “body after body after body” before the Aug. 11 deployment.
Democrats have pushed back against Trump’s move in D.C., and host Sean Hannity noted Chicago leaders are now rallying against the idea of bringing in the Guard there. Asked for his reaction, Miller doubled down on Trump’s law-and-order strategy.
“The Democrat Party does not fight for, care about or represent American citizens,” Miller said. “It is an entity devoted exclusively to the defense of hardened criminals, gangbangers and illegal alien killers and terrorists. The Democrat Party is not a political party. It is a domestic extremist organization.”
“Look at Chicago. They’ve shut down the police department. They’ve handcuffed law enforcement. And as President Trump says, they have turned the streets of Chicago into a bloody killing field here in Washington, D.C. Before President Trump launched the federal law enforcement liberation in D.C., there was a murder on the streets of this town every other day. Body after body after body after body. That was Washington, D.C.” Miller added.
Miller went on to say how Washington, D.C., has been cleaned up since Trump’s orders, calling it the “safest” it’s “ever been in its entire history.”
“Residents were afraid to go to restaurants. They were afraid to go into entire neighborhoods. They were getting carjacked, right and left, robbed and beaten. That was Washington, D.C. Now we’re two weeks homicide free,” Miller said. “The safest this city has ever been in its entire history. And the Democrats, instead of jumping up and down and saying, ‘Thank you, President Trump. Thank you for saving our lives. Thank you for saving our cities. Thank you for scrubbing away all the graffiti, the trash, the homeless encampments, the druggies.’”
“Instead of cleaning up the city, instead of thanking him for that, they’re saying, ‘President Trump, how dare you save our lives? How dare you save our children? How dare you save our city?’ The Democrat Party, Sean, that exists today, it disgusts me. I do not recognize that party,” Miller said.
