'Miller Says He and Trump Will Use Law Enforcement to 'Dismantle' the Left After Kirk Shooting' [View all]
"White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller vowed Friday that he and President Donald Trump would use this week’s assassination of Charlie Kirk to 'dismantle' the organized left using state power."
"In a rant on Fox News, Miller—the architect of Trump’s mass roundups and deportations of immigrants—shouted that the best way to honor Kirk’s memory was to carry out a political purge against the left, which he called a 'domestic terrorism movement in this country.' "
"Miller provided few details on what specific left-wing figures or groups he believed were stoking this violence. He claimed the left was waging 'doxxing campaigns' against right-wing figures, though he cited no specific examples."
"He did, however, cite many examples of harsh, but nevertheless First Amendment-protected, speech that he considered an incitement to violence, including that 'the left calls people enemies of the republic, calls them fascists, says they’re Nazis, says they’re evil,' and claimed that many people online were 'celebrating' Kirk’s assassination."
“ 'The last message that Charlie Kirk gave to me before he joined his creator in heaven,' Miller said, was, 'that we have to dismantle and take on the radical left organizations in this country that are fomenting violence, and we are going to do that.' "
