Stephen Miller labels protesters as 'elderly white hippies' during DC National Guard deployment
Stephen Miller, a top Trump aide, mocked protesters during the deployment of the National Guard in Washington DC. He, along with JD Vance and Pete Hegseth, distributed Shake Shack burgers at Union Station and instructed military members to ignore the protesters, calling them 'elderly white hippies'. This occurred on August 21, 2025, amid widespread discontent over National Guard deployments in U.S. cities.
