California Governor Gavin Newsom should be charged criminally for describing Stephen Miller as a "fascist," according to a Republican lawmaker.

On Friday, Newsom's press office posted this on X: "STEPHEN MILLER IS A FASCIST!" MAGA accused Newsom of "trying to get Miller killed" with the simple comment on social media. Miller is currently the White House deputy chief of staff under Trump.

The American Right, alone among Right Wings across the world, has long had an internal tension between Being Right Wing and the Conservative obsession with Tradition and National Origin Myths (which for us is the American Revolution, the Constitution, and buzzwords like Freedom and Liberty). The rise of Fascism has allowed alot of the American Right to be unapologetically Far Right and drop any pretense of caring about the Constitution or the Bill of Rights.
