I’ve been embedded with the Trump people on countless occasions, hung out with the Trump sons, hung out with people that are integral and closely associated with the Trump campaign… If people want to actually learn more about me, they could watch the America Happens Network, where for over six years we’ve been producing pro-Trump content.” For his part, Miller believes his work demonstrates a view that “art is the greatest weapon.” “I am but an artist, and that’s the only thing I am,” Miller said. Miller ran unsuccessfully in 2022 for a Nevada State Assembly seat, selling himself as a “constitutional conservative Republican that is horrified at what is happening to this country.” On Instagram, Miller can be seen in photos with comedian and recent right-wing convert Russell Brand, far-right activist James O’Keefe and also-ran third-party candidate-turned-Trump booster Robert F. Kennedy Jr. MAGA follower at Trump’s rally in Coachella, California, which saw blistering conditions an temperatures around 100F According to Bianco, Miller tried to gain VIP access to Saturday’s rally by falsely claiming he was a member of the press. He emphasized his support for Trump, claiming the former president “is one of the only individuals that I’ve seen have the courage to actually stand up to this tyranny against ‘we the people.’” Miller said he arrived at the rally location on Saturday around 3 p.m., and was directed to an onsite parking lot. He has been to Trump rallies with the guns on hand, and said he is always sure to tell the police officers, “out of courtesy,” that, “My name is Vem Miller, I work closely with the Trump campaign and individuals within the Trump campaign, I’m just letting you know that in the trunk of my car, I have two firearms.” “I’m certainly not going to take these firearms into the actual rally location,” Miller said, dancing around the notion of his being a sovereign citizen without providing a straight answer.
