White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller said Tuesday on Fox News’ “Hannity” that the administration will “dismantle” radical left-wing terror groups “one by one” in the United States through President Donald Trump’s National Security Presidential Memorandum (NSPM) executive order.
Tensions between Republicans and Democrats reached a high point after the assassination of Turning Point USA (TPUSA) founder Charlie Kirk, as some Democrats openly cheered his death online. Discussing how Miller was recently called a “fascist” online, the White House deputy chief said the party has become 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. They are using this language to mark people, to put a target on them,” Miller added. “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.”
On Friday, Democrat California Gov. Gavin Newsom’s press office posted, “STEPHEN MILLER IS A FASCIST!” just weeks after Republicans called out the labels Democrats have attached to them. Republicans quickly accused the office of inciting violence.
Following Kirk’s assassination, the president signed the NSPM on Thursday, which accuses the political violence seen in recent years of not being random attacks but instead ones of sophistication. Miller went on to say that with the executive order in place, the administration will begin its national counterterrorism strategy.
“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.
Since last year, tensions between Republicans and Democrats have risen during the 2024 presidential election cycle, as corporate media and former Vice President Kamala Harris’ campaign escalated their rhetoric against Trump. The then-GOP presidential candidate was called a fascist by Harris, with former President Joe Biden saying he should be locked up.
Last week, a shooter opened fire on the Dallas facility where ICE’s Enforcement and Removal Operations conducts arrests and deportations, killing at least two detainees. FBI Director Kash Patel, on X, posted photos of shell casings from the attack, showing one engraved with the phrase “Anti-ICE.”
The shooting comes shortly after a 63-year-old Sacramento man was accused of shooting at ABC affiliate KXTV and allegedly writing both Patel, FBI Deputy Director Dan Bongino and Attorney General Pam Bondi as “next.”
