Overview

• California’s official Governor Newsom Press Office account posted “STEPHEN MILLER IS A FASCIST!” on X on Friday.
• Stephen Miller asked, “Why do you think they posted this?” and the press office replied, “Because you’re a fascist.”
• Breitbart reported the post also referred to Miller as “SS,” invoking the Nazi Schutzstaffel.
• MAGA-aligned figures and commentators accused Newsom of encouraging violence, with The Federalist’s Sean Davis saying, “He’s trying to get Stephen killed.”
• Many replies warned the message put a “bullseye” on Miller and cited the recent shooting at a Charlie Kirk event as context.
