White House deputy chief of staff for policy Stephen Miller slammed the “stupid white hippies” protesting the National Guard’s presence in Washington, D.C., as he, Vice President JD Vance, and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth thanked troops during a visit to Union Station.

Vice President JD Vance joined Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller at Washington’s Union Station to greet National Guard troops deployed to the nation’s capital. The trio greeted troops near a table piled with hamburgers, and Vance said, “You guys are doing a helluva job.”

Top White House aide says anyone not supporting the president is just a rootless cosmopolitan living in the capital.
