the Democrat Party is embracing jihadism. Most Americans have watched it happen in real time and just weren't allowed to say so. Since October 7, we've seen pro-Hamas encampments sprout on elite campuses, Jewish students physically chased and harassed, and elected Democrats in Congress vote to strip Israel of the very systems that protect it from rockets.

It's been undeniable for a while now that the Democrat Party has chosen terrorists like Hamas and Hezbollah over Israel and even America. Immediately after the October 7, 2023 terrorist attacks, pro-Hamas encampments broke out on college campuses across the country. Jews were assaulted and harassed and Democrats in Congress called for defunding Israel, including the defensive Iron Dome.

Democrats have also nominated candidates like Abdul El-Sayed, who has ties to terrorist organizations including the Muslim Brotherhood, and Zohran Mamdani, who wants to globalize the intifada. CAIR bragged about getting more candidates like El-Sayed and Mamdani elected to office nationwide. Few Democrats are speaking out against it.

Stephen Miller, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy and Homeland Security Advisor, is spelling it out for us: Democrats have embraced jihadism.. @StephenM: "What we're dealing with here is a Democrat Party, from coast to coast, that is embracing jihadism." 🎯 pic.twitter.com/algGBI48Ux

"Fundamentally, Sean, what we're dealing with here is a Democrat Party from coast to coast that is embracing jihadism," Miller said. "You have, of course, the mayor of New York City that refuses to simply mourn the victims of the October 7 atrocity without also trying to make a statement justifying the violent resistance, quote-unquote, that has taken place by terrorists in Palestinian territory."

"Then you have Abdul El-Sayed in Michigan. A candidate who campaigned with Hasan Piker, an openly pro-terrorist, pro-jihad, anti-American extremist who celebrated 9/11," he continued. "You have in Minnesota an entire statewide political leadership system — Walz, Klobuchar, the whole state, Keith Ellison, that continues to shield, protect, harbor and support the radicalized members of the Somali refugee community; even on the heels of the FBI stopping what would have been a mass casualty by a Somali ISIS supporter at the Mall of America."

"You have a Democrat Party that, at every single level, that refuses to side with the American military, the American President, the American government in combat operations against the Iranian regime which has spread death, terror, and destruction all over the world. And you also have a Democrat Party that continues to support Islamist jihad migration into every part of this country," Miller said.

"When President Trump came into office in his first term, he put a travel ban on terrorist hotspots," he added. "The Democrat Party opened the floodgates to those same hotspots. President Trump shut those gates again. But every single day, Democrats are agitating to bring massive flows of refugees from the most pro-jihad areas of the planet into the United States. The Democrat Party has become, Sean, a jihad party."

How We See It

New Republican Times Editorial Board

the Democrat Party is embracing jihadism. Most Americans have watched it happen in real time and just weren't allowed to say so. Since October 7, we've seen pro-Hamas encampments sprout on elite campuses, Jewish students physically chased and harassed, and elected Democrats in Congress vote to strip Israel of the very systems that protect it from rockets. This isn't a policy disagreement anymore. It's a moral surrender.

Miller's warning sounds like hyperbole only if you ignore what the last year actually looked like. The same party that lectures everyone about hate found every excuse for the people who kidnapped, raped, and murdered civilians. They called it "context." They called it "resistance." They called the mobs on campus "students exercising free speech." But when Jews are beaten with sticks outside UCLA and Democrats respond by demanding an arms embargo, the euphemisms stop working. They chose the terrorists over the one real democracy in the region.

What makes this especially galling is the dishonesty. Democrats never said "we side with Hamas." They just kept finding ways to undermine Israel, fund the organizations that celebrate the attacks, and treat any American who backs the Jewish state as a threat to "peace." That's not diplomacy. That's cowardice dressed up in committee hearings. Stephen Miller is telling the truth about what the Democrat Party has become.

The good news is voters see it too. They watched the party's base cheer for Hamas while our own hostages were being dragged through tunnels. They watched the White House pressure Israel to slow down while doing nothing to demand the release of Americans. The Democrat Party has made its choice. America First means standing with Israel and against the apologists for terror. We'll stand with Stephen Miller on that every single time.
