White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller grew emotional Monday as he joined Vice President JD Vance to honor their late friend, Charlie Kirk.
Miller vowed to channel his grief and anger over Kirk’s assassination into a campaign to dismantle what he called a “vast domestic terror movement” in the United States.
“It will happen, and we will do it in Charlie’s name,” Miller told Vance during a special edition of The Charlie Kirk Show, hosted by the vice president.
Kirk, the founder of Turning Point USA, was gunned down last week while speaking to students in Utah. Miller said that in Kirk’s final message to him, sent the day before the shooting, Kirk urged the White House aide to pursue an “organized strategy to go after the left-wing organizations that are promoting violence in this country.”
Miller did not specify which groups Kirk was referring to.
His comments followed renewed scrutiny of violent attacks by trans-identifying shooters, including a late-August massacre at a Catholic school mass that killed two children and injured others, and the 2023 Nashville Christian school shooting.
“I will write those words onto my heart and I will carry them out,” Miller said of Kirk’s message. He described feeling “incredible sadness” and “incredible anger” since his friend’s death, but stressed that the rage must be purposeful. “Righteous anger is one of the most important agents of change in human history.”
“We are going to channel all the anger that we have over the organized campaign that led to this assassination, to uproot and dismantle these terrorist networks,” he said. Miller listed “organized doxxing campaigns, organized riots, organized street violence, organized campaigns of dehumanization and vilification” as threats, along with “actual organized cells that carry out and facilitate the violence.”
“With God as my witness, we are going to use every resource we have at the Justice Department, Homeland Security, and throughout this government, to identify, disrupt, dismantle, and destroy these networks, and make America safe again for the American people,” Miller vowed.
The deputy chief of staff has emerged as one of the administration’s most outspoken voices following Kirk’s assassination. The day after the killing, he posted a lengthy statement on X condemning the ideology he blamed for inspiring the shooter.
“There is an ideology that has steadily been growing in this country which hates everything that is good, righteous and beautiful and celebrates everything that is warped, twisted and depraved,” he wrote. “It is an ideology at war with family and nature. It is envious, malicious, and soulless. It is an ideology that looks upon the perfect family with bitter rage while embracing the serial criminal with tender warmth.”
“Its adherents organize constantly to tear down and destroy every mark of grace and beauty while lifting up everything monstrous and foul,” Miller added. “It is an ideology that leads, always, inevitably and willfully, to violence — violence against those who uphold order, who uphold faith, who uphold family, who uphold all that is noble and virtuous in this world. It is an ideology whose one unifying thread is the insatiable thirst for destruction.”
