"...our Republican form of government..." Uh...WTF?

I'm not going to post Miller's entire rant. You can read it here, if you'd like: https://www.rawstory.com/stephen-miller-violence-purge-judges

...I just want to focus on one of his comments, "This (THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY) is a very real and dire crisis for our Republican form of government."

There is no ONE-SIDED "OUR" in government.

These are ELECTED officials, and the ones who WEREN'T elected (LIKE MILLER) are APPOINTED, but the Republican party has NO "OWNERSHIP" of government when in the majority, just as DEMOCRATS would not under similar circumstances.

It's becoming increasingly easy to see why he got that "PEE WEE GERMAN" nickname.

Little "r" republicanism refers to a governing philosophy where power is held by the people and their elected representatives, not Miller's big "R" Republican Party which is an oligarchy.
