White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller went on a deranged rampage about "communist" Democrats while appearing on Fox News on Tuesday.
Appearing on Sean Hannity's primetime show, the White House official and homeland security adviser railed against the “radicals ruling the Democratic Party" who, according to Miller, wanted to abolish the Senate and presidency as well as private businesses and property. Miller then stated that the party was promising a “womb-to-the-tomb utopia that all of us know will never work.”
"The Democrat party has embraced not only socialism, they have embraced communism," Miller, 40, said. "Straight-up, outright, full-throated communism."

"They are now electing candidates who want to take private industry over, give it to the government, suspend the Constitution, abolish the Senate, abolish prisons, abolish jails, abolish the jury system, abolish our entire way of life," raged Miller. It's ironic that Miller is making these claims, as it was reported that the Trump administration claimed stakes in several private companies, including Intel, IBM and U.S. Steel.
Trump's administration has also repeatedly tried to overturn various parts of the Constitution, including the Article 1 right to Habeas Corpus and the Fourth Amendment right against unreasonable searches and seizures. Additionally, the administration has attempted to uphold the 14th Amendment right to birthright citizenship.
The president has also repeatedly sidestepped both the House and Senate by signing 270 executive orders since the start of his term in January 2025. Trump's Department of Justice has repeatedly come under scrutiny for grand jury misconduct that was so bad that charges were dismissed.
However, that did not dissuade Miller from telling the Fox News personality that "The contrast has never been more clear." He added, "There is President Trump, the Republican Party, and America First, or the crazy communist lunatics who will steal everything you know and love in this nation, and they will never, ever, let you have it back."
In response to Miller's defense of the president, Hannity responded, "Steve, this is why you will never be banned from this network or this show." As Miller laughed, Hannity added, "It's just priceless."
'Divine providence'
This is not the first time that Miller has lauded the second presidency of Trump. In a bizarre post on the Fourth of July, Miller claimed that President Donald Trump's presidency on the country's 250th birthday was "divine providence."
"It is impossible to review the events of the last decade and conclude that it is anything other than divine providence that Donald J. Trump is the president of the United States on the year of America 250, July 4th, 2026," Miller wrote. This is also not the first time that someone has attempted to liken the president to God.
The president himself shared an AI image on his Truth Social earlier in April purporting to show him as Jesus Christ. Following backlash from Christians and some MAGA Republicans, the president said the image depicted him as a doctor.
"I did post it, and I thought it was me as a doctor," Trump had said. "It has to do with the Red Cross. A Red Cross worker is there which we support... It's supposed to be me as a doctor making people better, and I do make people better."
"Only the fake news could come up with that one," Trump shot back when asked about portraying himself as Jesus Christ. "I just heard about it, I said, 'How did they come up with that?'"
