Overview

• The Governor Newsom Press Office on X posted “STEPHEN MILLER IS A FASCIST!” and used “SS” language directed at the White House deputy chief of staff.
• When Miller asked why the post was made, the account replied, “Because you’re a fascist.”
• Breitbart reported that Newsom spent Saturday defending and doubling down on the characterization across social media.
• Conservative commentators and MAGA-aligned accounts accused Newsom of incitement and raised safety concerns, with Andrew Kolvet and Sean Davis among those urging him to stop.
• Breitbart linked the timing to its reporting on Charlie Kirk’s assassination and alleged “fascist” markings on bullet casings, while these articles reported no new federal protective action specific to Miller.
