White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller argues that President Donald Trump is a leader “standing in the gap” against a growing wave of Democratic Socialist leaders. <\/p>\n
SEAN HANNITY: Here with Reaction, he is the Deputy White House Chief of Staff and Homeland Security Advisor Stephen Miller. All right, New York is one thing. This is a big night for Mamdani, but it’s also like a cancer spreading, you know, across the country. You got Talarico, you got El Sayed, you got Graham Platner, and you have no mainstream Democrat but the one we just had on, John Fetterman, that is willing to stand up to them. What are we learning about what’s happening to the Democratic Party, Stephen Miller? STEPHEN MILLER, WHITE HOUSE DEPUTY CHIEF OF STAFF: Well, this is an issue, Sean, you and I have discussed on your airwaves many times and tonight brings really terrifying evidence of just, as you said, how far this cancer has spread and is spreading across and throughout the Democratic Party. The candidate who won that race in New York tonight campaigned, as Senator Fetterman said, on abolishing ICE, abolishing borders, abolishing jails. So effectively this candidate is saying that every single American citizen should live at the mercy of the most violent criminals, terrorists, and thugs on the face of planet Earth. Just our whole country there for the taking, there for the pillaging, no protection for you or your family. And we’ve seen in every single race where there is an open Democrat primary, the radical left base of the Democrat Party is electing the most socialist, the most communist, the most lunatic candidates, the most fringe candidates that possibly exist. Every one of them. Against cops, against ICE, against Border Patrol, against borders, against jails, for every crazy trans idea, against every single tenet of traditional American values, principles, religion, God, all of it. I mean you saw this quote from Telerico today where he says he hates Christianity. These are the candidates that they are running, Sean. So President Trump, in a very real and very literal sense, is the man, is the leader, standing in the gap, in the breach, protecting this nation from this tyrannical wave of left-wing insanity. HANNITY: How do we ever reconcile the ones that want Marxism, socialism, defund, dismantle, open borders, sanctuary cities and states? How do we ever reconcile these two very different ideologies? I don’t see how. MILLER: No, I mean fundamentally, Sean, look, we used to have a country, you could pick what time period, maybe say the 1980s with Tip O’Neill and Ronald Reagan. We used to have a country where you had a center-left Democrat Party, really a center, I would say a center to center-left with many members who were actually center-right. These were called Reagan Democrats or Blue Dog Democrats. So that was the spectrum the Democrat Party lived in, from center-left to center-right. Then you had a Republican Party, a conservative party. And over time, the Democrat Party has abandoned all of that and they have instead adopted this radical, revolutionary, and in many cases violent ideology that wants to tear America down and destroy everything that we know and love from top to bottom, right? Living in a state of total anarchy, without police, without law enforcement, where criminals can rape and maim and murder with impunity, where your kids are taught from the age of two to hate America, to hate their God, to hate their parents, to hate their family, to even hate their own gender. That’s their agenda. And no, you cannot have a middle ground with that. Ultimately, what President Trump is doing and what he is leading is an America First movement that says we need Democrats to come vote for us, to leave that insanity, because ultimately that’s just a death knell for America. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n
