“I think the clear purpose of Mr. Biden's message is twofold. First, obviously, he's trying to terrify suburban voters ahead of the election, but as we see in the polls, “It will fail very badly. But the second and more sinister purpose is to try to create a pretext, a predicate, for a vast police and surveillance state,” Miller said.
“So what you're seeing is a tremendous amount of tools at the disposal of the Department of Justice, and a tremendous amount of tools at the disposal of the Department of Homeland Security, being deployed for the purpose of crushing political dissent in the United States. “We are censoring free speech and imprisoning political dissidents with exorbitant sentences.”
Miller continued to claim that leftist “allies” are “allowed to attack and assault with impunity,” emphasizing the punishment between BLM participants versus “pro-life Americans,” and alluded to a recent incident involving his father.

Miller also acknowledged attempts by “the ruling party” to remove Trump from the state's ballot.
“For example, pro-life Americans are having their homes searched and threatened with huge prison sentences for their non-violent activities and non-violent protests. Democratic political allies like BLM “It is permissible to riot with impunity, and attack and assault is not permissible with impunity. The message is clear: If you are considered an enemy of the state, you will be persecuted,” Miller said.
“And if you are Donald Trump, the leader of the opposition, you will be removed from the ballot and put in jail. But if you are an ally of the ruling party, no matter how serious the crime “They will be protected. And by the way, that includes the crime of completely opening the borders every day in this country,” he added.
Trump was recently removed from the Maine ballot by the Secretary of State after Colorado's move to remove him from the state's ballot was upheld by the state Supreme Court. Both states alleged that the former president violated the 14th Amendment's Insurrection Clause.
