California Governor Gavin Newsom (D) clapped back at White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, who accused him on Wednesday of inciting “violence and terrorism.”
Miller, long known for his bombastic rhetoric, shared a clip of Newsom on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert this week and wrote, “This language incites violence and terrorism.”
During his interview with Stephen Colbert on Tuesday evening, Newsom slammed the Trump administration’s illegal immigration crackdown. “Masked men jumping out of unmarked cars; people disappearing; no due process; no oversight; zero accountability happening in the United States of America today,” Newsom fumed, adding:
People ask, ‘Well is authoritarianism you being hyperbolic?’ Bullsh*t we’re being hyperbolic. If you’re black and brown community, it’s here in this country.
Newsom hit back at Miller with a clip of his own, which he captioned, “This language incites violence and terrorism.”
In the clip Miller says, “The Democrat Party does not fight for, care about, or represent American citizens. It is an entity devoted exclusively to the defense of hardened criminals, gang bangers, and illegal alien killers and terrorists. The Democrat Party is not a political party. It is a domestic extremist organization.”
Watch both clips above.
