Stephen Miller Announces Trump Admin Officially Declaring ‘Left-Wing Violence’ As ‘Terrorism’

Top Trump aide Stephen Miller announced Thursday that the Trump administration had officially declared “left-wing violence” as “terrorism” that needed to be stamped out.

Miller spoke at a conference in Washington, D.C., called The Ministerial on the Resurgence of Political Terrorism, hosted at the U.S. State Department.

“Here in the United States, we have taken the necessary and essential action of formally recognizing left-wing violence as a form of political terrorism that is a direct threat to our national security and the survival of our republican form of government,” Miller said at the top of his remarks.

He continued:

President Trump issued a directive — in our parlance, it’s called a national security presidential memorandum or NSPM, NSPM 7 to be exact — that directs for the first time in American history all of our law enforcement and intelligence agencies to work together to disrupt, identify, defund, debank, arrest, and prosecute these political terrorists that are operating in our country. It’s very important to understand that left-wing political terrorism seeks as its ultimate end the overthrow of our system and form of government. And we’ve seen this has taken place many times in many places throughout the years.

Left-wing terrorism always ends in bloodshed, misery and suffering. It only can travel in one direction. There’s no point at which the left-wing terrorist is satisfied with his gains and ceases progressing. Inevitably, left to run its course, it always becomes a gulag, it always becomes the mass imprisonment of political enemies, the stripping of their rights and freedoms, inflicting immense pain, humiliation, suffering in order to establish complete and total control, control through psychological and physical and actual terror. And we have to understand that that is the scope and the extent of the threat that we face.

Miller did not mention right-wing terrorism in his speech.

Real America Voice host Gina Loudon called Miller’s comments, “quite a far cry from the Democrats telling us that Americans were the most dangerous thing, you know, that conservative, Christian, patriotic Americans were the most dangerous people to our republic.”
