Trump officials vow crackdown on left-leaning groups after Charlie Kirk killing
Trump officials vow crackdown on left-leaning groups after Charlie Kirk killing (USA Today)WASHINGTON ‒ Angered in the wake of Charlie Kirk's assassination, Trump administration officials say they're planning to use "every resource" available across the federal government to target left-leaning organizations they contend are promoting political violence.
Vice President JD Vance and Stephen Miller, deputy White House chief of staff, on Sept. 15 discussed plans to "go after" liberal non-government organizations, or NGOs, they said support "doxxing" campaigns against conservatives, help orchestrate riots, publicize the addresses of political opponents and promote messages intended to create violence.
"We are going to channel all of the anger that we have over the organized campaign that led to this assassination to uproot and dismantle these terrorist networks," Miller said as he joined Vance on a livestream as the vice president hosted "The Charlie Kirk Show" to pay tribute to the late conservative activist.
