Miller: Trump To Act Against ‘Domestic Terrorists’ After Kirk Assassination

White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller went on a tear during a Friday evening appearance on Fox News’ “Hannity” program following the senseless assassination of conservative activist and Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk earlier in the week.

Miller told host Sean Hannity that the murder will lead to an all-out effort by President Donald Trump’s administration to root out and “dismantle” left-wing “domestic terrorists” who he believes are responsible for fomenting violence and attacks against right-leaning groups and individuals.

His remarks come on the heels of the arrest of Tyler Robinson, 22, of Utah, who investigators believe holds left-wing views and may have become radicalized in recent years to the point of allegedly committing the murder.

Miller specifically blamed violent rhetoric coming from members of the Democratic Party, several of whom have referred to the president as “Hitler” and his supporters as “fascists” and “threats to democracy” for years.

“The Democrat Party, its pundits, its allies, the educators, for 10 years have waged a campaign of eliminationist rhetoric against President Trump, against Republicans, against MAGA, against Trump officials. It has been willful and deliberate, Sean. The rhetoric that you played, the messages that you played in that clip are the same exact rhetoric and messages that are used by the assassins, that are used by the two assassins who tried to kill Donald Trump, that are used by the assassin who claimed the life of my friend, an American hero, Charlie Kirk. This is willful and deliberate radicalization,” Miller began.

“They know what they’re doing. Our universities, in many cases, have become incubators for extremism. They’ve become the equivalent of madrasas for jihadism. There is a domestic terrorism movement in this country. When you see these organized doxing campaigns where the left calls people enemies of the republic, calls them fascists, says they’re Nazis, says they’re evil, says they have to be removed, and then prints their addresses, what do you think they’re trying to do? They are trying to inspire someone to murder them,” he said.

“That is their objective. That is their intent. And when you see online, Sean, as we’ve seen for the last few days, tape after tape after tape of federal workers, bureaucrats, staffers in the Pentagon, educators, professors, healthcare workers, nurses celebrating the assassination of Charlie Kirk — these are radicalized people. There is a domestic terrorism movement in this country,” Miller continued before sharing a personal anedote from Kirk shortly before he was killed.

“The last message that Charlie Kirk gave to me before he joined his Creator in heaven was he said that we have to dismantle and take on the radical left organizations in this country that are fomenting violence. That was the last message that he sent me before that assassin stole him from all of us. And we are going to do that,” said Miller.

“Under President Trump’s leadership, I don’t care how — it could be a RICO charge, a conspiracy charge, conspiracy against the United States, insurrection, but we are going to do what it takes to dismantle the organizations and the entities that are fomenting riots, that are doxing, that are trying to inspire terrorism, that are committing acts of wanton violence. It has to stop,” he continued.

“And my message is to all of the domestic terrorists in this country spreading this evil hate: You want us to live in fear? We will not live in fear. But you will live in exile. Because the power of law enforcement under President Trump’s leadership will be used to find you, will be used to take away your money, take away your power, and if you’ve broken the law, to take away your freedom,” Miller vowed.
