Christopher Miller, who served as acting secretary of defense under former President Donald Trump, blamed him for the Jan. 6 attack on the Capitol in a new interview.
“Would anybody have marched on the Capitol, and tried to overrun the Capitol, without the president’s speech?” Miller said during an interview with Vice on Showtime, which will air in full on March 14. “I think it’s pretty much definitive that wouldn’t have happened.”
Shortly before Trump supporters stormed the Capitol on Jan. 6, the president told the crowd of his “Save America Rally” that the 2020 election was “a criminal enterprise,” and encouraged them to “fight like hell.”
“If you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore,” he said hours before members of that same crowd burst through the doors of Congress in an attempt to stop lawmakers from certifying the results.
Miller noted that although he does not know if Trump knew his speech would invoke such a drastic response, there would not have been an attack without him.
“It seems cause-and-effect,” Miller said of Trump’s speech, later adding, “The question is, did he know he was enraging people to do that? I don’t know.”
Miller was named acting secretary of defense in November 2020, after Trump fired Mark Esper. Miller received backlash on Jan. 6 for his response to the Capitol attack, as many faulted his department for taking too long to deploy the National Guard.
“It comes back to understanding how the military works — this isn’t a video game, it’s not Black Ops Call of Duty,” Miller said, defending his part in the response, before revealing that he never spoke to Trump on Jan. 6.

“If you don’t fight like hell, you’re not going to have a country anymore,” he said hours before members of that same crowd burst through the doors of Congress in an attempt to stop lawmakers from certifying the results.The so called breach at The Capital was going on while President Trump was talking to his supporters at the White House. That's not an ipso facto kind of thing when the so called "cause" was happening after the so called "effect."
It appears that he appointed a vipers nest of traitors and backstabbers.

Appears? That fact is beyond dispute. And what’s so perplexing, not to mention INFURIATING, is that as a candidate he was quite fond of quoting the lyrics to Al Wilson’s song, THE SNAKE! Nevertheless, Donald Trump is still our legitimately elected President (in exile), Biden is nothing but an imposter masquerading as President, and the successful coup has made the USA a laughing stock around the world!
For good or bad most everybody just quit working in the swamp during Trump’s term in office.
The retarded Miller kissing Commie ass. Funny how quick they turned. No loyalty bastards. You’ll never see Nazi and commie ‘RATS this disloyal.
Trump had no realistic choices. Mitch pretty much boxed him in with severe limits on who he would confirm and who he wouldn’t. This was enforced by his refusal to let the Senate go into recess for a single day for the entire four years to prevent his OWN PRESIDENT from making any recess appointments.
Next, the pussyhats and the restaurant terrorists and the universities made life an absolute hell for anyone who thought they might work for the Trump administration. So the “killers” he wanted to bring in vanished. Remember all those members of his business advisory council who quit within weeks? It was because of threats and boycotts.
Trump had almost no ability to appoint who he wanted to.
Realistically, he had about 40% of the normal power a President has and look at all he accomplished. The White House was utterly infested with spies like Vindman.
He was alone, under attack from all points of the compass.
Excellent post.
I’ve made the same comments, about M!tch, previously.
I’ve often said....he (M!tch) doesn’t care. He doesn’t care if the country is destroyed, as long as his DS secrets are protected.
I even told hubby, just after the stolen election, that I wouldn’t be surprised if M!tch leaves office soon. His mission is accomplished.
I really think that they must have video of these people in bed with a little boy. Also a very dark rumor that they approach them with video of children being tortured and they tell them the same thing will happen to their kids.
It would be tough to go up against people ballsy enough to show you video of what they’ve done.
President Trump certainly had NOTHING to do with Antifa in the Capitol Building
Miller ? mebbe angling for job in the UniParty?
OUR SOCIETY HAS BECOME LAWLESS, NOTHING IS STABLE ANYMORE, AND ANYTHING, EVERYTHING, IS POSSIBLE.
KEEP THE FAITH.
I've been disagreeing with this assessment from the beginning.
Chris Miller and Pence was very likely talking about the repair of the ships, planes, ICBM and so on that use navigation systems that have been hijacked. Remember the USS Fitzgerald navigation issue? My opinion the first major project for space force to create a layer firewall for all navigational systems.
It's possible early on the hackers also were able to add targets to our satellite systems. IE: 2018 Hawaii false missile alert
Important project but not what many people thought it was.
He is blaming Trump for the antifa thugs the democrat party hires.
Writer is 25, a lefty New York Democrat,, and pretty much slants to what is required. Believe what you wish, but believe very little of what try’s to pass as journalism these days. Remember, for most of the people in the fake news media it’s more about maintaining the narrative than reporting the truth.
One disheartening comment I read (at Breitbart link) said that they heard (again, this is just a random poster) that the military were IN ON the coup, against PDJT, and....had been since the beginning.
Sickening, if true.
Of course.
Because without President Trump we would have had Hillary.
Cowards like him don’t have God in their life.
Nothing would have happened if the people didn’t have their votes stolen.
Sorry wrong time stamp 1:02:00
IT WAS ALL SMOKE AND MIRRORS! EYEWASH!
TRUMP WAS SNOOKERED RIGHT TO THE END!
AS WERE WE ALL, BY OUR FALSE RELIANCE ON,
AND BELIEF IN, “THE RULE OF LAW”.
THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY!
