MAGA Lawmaker (Derrick Van Orden) Calls for Gavin Newsom's Arrest After Calling Miller a 'Fascist'

MAGA Lawmaker Calls for Gavin Newsom’s Arrest After Calling Miller a ‘Fascist’ (The Daily Beast)

A Republican lawmaker called for the arrest of Gov. Gavin Newsom of California over an insult that MAGA supporters have also frequently hurled.

Newsom’s press office posted “STEPHEN MILLER IS A FASCIST!” on X on Friday. The post had garnered over 24 million views as of Sunday night.

Many Republicans were quick to criticize the post, including Rep. Nancy Mace, who labeled the post “violent rhetoric.” Wisconsin congressman Derrick Van Orden went a step further, calling it “domestic terrorism.”

Ironically, Miller himself, who currently serves as the White House deputy chief of staff, frequently labels things and people as “fascist.”

Such an (expletive) mayonnaise person !

"I am not sure that you understand what you and your horrible people have done," he said in one post to X responding to the firing of an MSNBC commentator for remarks about the assassination. "Gloves Are Off you (expletive) mayonnaise person."
