White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller on Wednesday railed against what he called “stupid white hippies” who were protesting the federal crackdown on crime in the nation’s capital and argued they did not represent the citizens of Washington, D.C.
Miller, Vice President Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth visited Union Station on Wednesday to meet with National Guard troops who have been stationed outside for days in a show of force near the transportation hub.
“We are not going to let the communists destroy a great American city, let alone the nation’s capital,” Miller told the crowd near Shake Shack inside Union Station. “And let’s just also address another thing. All these demonstrators you’ve seen out here in recent days, all these elderly white hippies, they’re not part of the city and never have been. And by the way, most of the citizens who live in Washington, D.C., are Black.”
“So we’re going to ignore these stupid white hippies that all need to go home and take a nap because they’re all over 90 years old,” he added. “And we’re going to get back to the business of protecting the American people and the citizens of Washington, D.C.”
