White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy Stephen Miller criticized progressives during a television appearance, asserting that the movement focuses on dismantling existing societal structures rather than creating new ones.
Miller’s Comments
In an interview on FOX News Channel’s The Will Cain Show with host Will Cain, Miller addressed discussions surrounding progressive political trends and commented on remarks previously made by Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-NY) regarding American history and democracy.
Miller framed progressive policies as being centered on destruction and redistribution. “It’s an ideology that looks at what civilization built and is envious and hateful and jealous and says, I will take, I will steal, I will dismantle, I will destroy, and I will redistribute everything that you have built,” Miller said.
Miller specifically pointed to policy debates around law enforcement and public safety, arguing that calls to defund or reform police departments in major metropolitan areas have negatively impacted public safety.
