WASHINGTON — White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller said Monday that the Trump administration is working on an “organized strategy to go after left-wing organizations that are promoting violence” in the wake of Charlie Kirk’s assassination.
Miller, a husband and father of three children, said the murder of the conservative activist had filled him with both “incredible sadness” and “incredible anger” during a taping of “The Charlie Kirk Show” hosted by Vice President JD Vance.
As a result, Miller said the administration was “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.”
“The organized doxing campaigns, the organized riots, the organized street violence, the organized campaigns of dehumanization, vilification, posting people’s addresses, combining that with messaging that is designed to trigger [or] incite violence and the actual organized cells that carry out and facilitate the violence,” Miller explained. “It is a vast domestic terror.”
“With God as my witness, we’re going to use every resource we have at the Department of Justice, Homeland Security, and throughout this government to identify, disrupt, dismantle, and destroy these networks and make America safe again for the American people,” he declared.
Vance said earlier in the conversation that “you have the crazies on the far left who are saying, ‘Oh, Stephen Miller and JD Vance, they’re gonna go after constitutionally protected speech.’”
“No, no, no, we’re gonna go after the NGO [non-governmental organization] network that foments, facilitates, and engages — that’s not OK,” the vice president added. “Violence is not OK in our system, and we want to make it less likely that that happens.”
