Speaking in the broadcast of “The Charlie Kirk Show” that was hosted by Vice President JD Vance to pay tribute to the assassinated Turning Point USA founder and close Trump ally, deputy White House Chief of Staff and key strategy advisor Stephen Miller told VP Vance that the full might of the US government will be brought down on the leftist NGO network that has been inciting violence in America.
As background, many on the right contend that the vast constellation of non-government organizations, or NGOs, that are funded by far-left oligarchs like George Soros have been involved in a great many of America’s problems in recent years, not least of which include the “doxxing” campaigns against conservatives, the riots that roiled the nation, and the general atmosphere of political violence.
So, speaking about the government’s response to the close connections between groups like Antifa and the leftist NGOs and their donors, Mr. Miller told VP Vance that the full might of the government will be brought down upon them in an organized campaign that eradicates them as a problem in America.
Explaining as much, Mr. Miller said that the huge amount of fury and anger stirred up by Charlie’s cold-blooded slaying needs to be channeled into taking on the terror networks, saying, “We are going to channel all of the anger that we have over the organized campaign that led to this assassination to uproot and dismantle these terrorist networks.”
Further, Mr. Miller added that the sort of violence we see on the left is carried out by a “vast domestic terrorist movement,” and that the Trump Administration is keyed into the problem and will be using “every resource we have at the Department of Justice, Homeland Security and throughout this government” to tackle it.
In fact, describing what will be done by that collection of agencies and departments in the fight against Antifa, Mr. Miller said that the administration will “identify, disrupt, dismantle and destroy” the leftist terror networks and the NGOs that are backing them up. “It will happen, and we will do it in Charlie’s name,” Miller emphasized.
Vice President JD Vance, agreeing with Miller and emphasizing that what is being suggested certainly needs to be done, said, “Crazies on the far left are saying, ‘Oh, Stephen Miller and JD Vance, they’re going to go after constitutionally protected free speech.’ No, no, no. We’re going to go after the NGO network that foments, facilitates and engages in violence.”

During the conversation, VP Vance also said, more generally, “We have to talk about this incredibly destructive movement of left-wing extremism that has grown up over the last few years, and I believe, is part of the reason why Charlie was killed by an assassin’s bullet.”
President Trump, for his part, has taken action to declare Antifa a terror organization, saying, “I am pleased to inform our many U.S.A. Patriots that I am designating ANTIFA, A SICK, DANGEROUS, RADICAL LEFT DISASTER, AS A MAJOR TERRORIST ORGANIZATION. I will also be strongly recommending that those funding ANTIFA be thoroughly investigated in accordance with the highest legal standards and practices. Thank you for your attention to this matter!”
