The White House's top policy adviser called the left a cancer that must be rooted out.
At a State Department summit on political terrorism, speaking to representatives of 67 countries, Miller called left-wing organizations a “cancer” that could “destroy a society,” described leftists broadly as “enemies of civilization,” and said supporters of left-wing causes must face persecution because American institutions had grown too “soft.”
Disease language aimed at a political movement is the oldest move in this catalogue, and “rooted out” isn't a metaphor about winning arguments.
The target isn't people who commit crimes. It is everyone who supports a set of causes. Coming from a sitting official, on an international stage, that is a statement about what the state intends.
