An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Demand Stephen Miller's Retraction or Resignation for Dangerous Rhetoric

I am writing to express my deep concern and outrage over the recent statements made by Stephen Miller, Deputy Chief of Staff to President Trump, on Fox News' "Hannity" program on August 25, 2025. Miller's characterization of the Democratic Party as a "domestic, extremist organization" is not only false and defamatory but also dangerous and deeply divisive. Miller's comments, which described the Democratic Party as "an entity devoted exclusively to the defense of hardened criminals, gangbangers, and illegal alien killers and terrorists," go far beyond the bounds of acceptable political discourse. Such rhetoric undermines the foundations of our democracy and threatens the stability of our political system. As a public official, Miller has a responsibility to engage in constructive dialogue and to work towards solutions that benefit all Americans. Instead, he has chosen to use his platform to spread misinformation and incite division. This behavior is particularly concerning given Miller's influential position within the administration and his history of involvement in controversial policies, such as the 2017 "Muslim ban." The timing of these comments is also troubling, coming on the heels of President Trump's decision to station national guard troops in Washington, D.C., and his suggestions about potentially doing the same in other cities with Democratic mayors. This context makes Miller's words even more inflammatory and potentially dangerous. I urge you to take immediate action to address this situation. Stephen Miller must either publicly retract his statements and apologize for the harm they have caused, or he should resign from his position. Allowing such rhetoric to go unchallenged sets a dangerous precedent and further erodes public trust in our government institutions. As my representative, I ask that you speak out against Miller's comments and push for accountability within the administration. Our nation faces numerous challenges that require bipartisan cooperation and mutual respect. We cannot afford to have high-ranking officials fanning the flames of division and extremism. I look forward to hearing about the steps you will take to address this urgent matter. The integrity of our democratic process and the safety of our communities depend on swift and decisive action.
