Stephen Miller, the White House deputy chief of staff for policy, appeared on Hannity to warn about the escalating polarization in American politics. He described a political party that has become so extreme that it views its opponents as ‘mortal enemies,’ a stance he believes is contributing to the rise in political violence. Miller pointed to recent elections in New York City, New Jersey, and Virginia as pivotal moments in this growing divide.
During the discussion, Miller emphasized the need for a more unified approach to governance, arguing that the current level of hostility is detrimental to national stability. He suggested that the intensity of the political climate could lead to further incidents of violence, undermining public trust in democratic institutions. The comments come amid heightened tensions over key issues such as voting rights, immigration, and social policies.
Miller’s remarks reflect broader concerns within the conservative movement about the increasingly adversarial nature of political discourse. While he did not specify which party he was referring to, his comments underscore the growing anxiety over the potential for political violence to disrupt the electoral process and damage the country’s democratic fabric.
