California Gov. Gavin Newsom launched an attack on White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, labeling him “a fascist,” in a social media post.

“STEPHEN MILLER IS A FASCIST!” the Governor Newsom Press Office account on X wrote in a post.

Breitbart News Senior Editor-at-Large Joel Pollak reported that in an X post earlier this week, Newsom “launched an antisemitic attack” on Miller, who is Jewish.

In Newsom’s post, he “referred to Miller as ‘SS,’ using an acronym for the Schutzstaffel, the elite Nazi corps.”

The epithet came in a post on X by the “GovPressOffice” account.

This is the official public account of the governor’s press office.

The account alternates between serious information and attempts to troll President Donald Trump.

The all-caps posting referred to Miller as “SS.”

This uses an acronym for the Schutzstaffel, the elite Nazi corps that was primarily responsible for the murder of millions of Jews in the Holocaust.

Miller is Jewish.

Several people responded to Newsom’s post.

Some called for Newsom to “stop.”

Others criticized Newsom for “inciting violence.”

“You’ve got to stop this,” Andrew Kolvet, the executive producer of The Charlie Kirk Show wrote in a post.

“They know exactly what they’re doing,” Human Events Senior Editor Jack Posobiec wrote in a post.

“California Governor Gavin Newsom is inciting violence against White House senior staffer Stephen Miller,” another person wrote.

“This comes a week after Governor Gavin Newsom called for doxing ICE agents even as Antifa terrorists were shooting at ICE agents.”

The timing of Newsom’s attack is particularly concerning to critics.

Turning Point USA founder Charlie Kirk was recently assassinated.

Shell casings from that attack bore messages calling Kirk a fascist.

Newsom’s use of the same “fascist” label against Miller has raised alarms.

The governor’s antisemitic imagery compounds concerns about his rhetoric.

Comparing a Jewish official to Nazi SS forces crosses clear lines.

Miller serves as a senior advisor in the Trump administration.

He has been instrumental in immigration enforcement policies.

Democrats have targeted Miller repeatedly for his policy positions.

Newsom’s official press office making these statements gives them governmental weight.

The posts weren’t from a personal account but California’s official government communications.

Critics argue this represents state-sanctioned inflammatory rhetoric.

The “fascist” label has become common in Democratic attacks on Trump officials.

But using it after Kirk’s assassination shows reckless disregard for consequences.

Newsom previously called for doxing ICE agents.

That rhetoric preceded violent attacks on ICE facilities.

The pattern suggests Newsom’s words have real-world violent consequences.

His office’s trolling approach to serious political discourse draws criticism.

Using official government accounts for inflammatory attacks normalizes extreme rhetoric.

The all-caps format emphasized the aggressive nature of the message.

Newsom has not retracted or apologized for the posts.

His continued attacks despite criticism show no intention to moderate his language.

The governor positions himself as a potential future presidential candidate.

His rhetoric reveals how he would conduct national political discourse.
