White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller has prompted a wave of outrage and mockery online Monday for claiming in comments about ongoing protests against federal agents that the U.S. has never tolerated “unlawful riotous assemblies” at federal buildings.
“When in our history have we tolerated unlawful riotous assemblies night after night around FBI buildings, or ATF buildings, or DEA buildings?” Miller said during an interview on CNN. “This is the textbook definition of domestic terrorism.”
