The person who attended the campaign meeting of the Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump with a gun Come Miller claims the US media in an interview with Fox News that the accusations against him are false. The man also says that he is a Trump supporter.

Miller was arrested on Saturday local time about 800 meters away from the campaign site in California’s Coachella Valley. According to the local police, he was in possession of a loaded shotgun, a handgun and a large magazine of ammunition.

– I always travel with a firearm in the back of my car, Miller told Fox News.

According to Miller, he had also reported the weapons in the back of his car to the authorities at the checkpoint of the campaign event.

Miller cites the death threats he has received while working for the America Happens network, which was established to combat “media censorship”, as the reason for carrying weapons.

– I have literally never shot a gun in my life. I know nothing about guns. I’m more than a novice, Miller said.

The police said that fake press and VIP passes were also found in Miller’s possession.

Miller says that the documents are not forged, but genuine. According to him, he is Armenian and owns documents that use his full Armenian name and other documents that do not contain his full name.

Miller justifies the matter by saying that the use of documents with his full name could lead to his death “in some parts of the world” due to the persecution of Armenians.

“100% Trump supporter”

Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco previously said he suspected Miller was part of the far-right “sovereign citizens” movement, which the FBI considers an anti-government extremist movement.

Members of the movement believe they are separate or sovereign from the US government. Because of this, they believe that they do not have to answer to any government authority, such as courts or tax authorities.

– That is an absurd claim. I don’t think there is such a thing, Miller tells Fox News, adding that he does not support or belong to that movement.

Miller also denies being an “extreme rightist”.

– The government is an inanimate object, the individuals inside it are important, so no, I don’t belong to anything like that, Miller reasons.

Miller says that he used to be a supporter of the Democrats, but he turned into a Trump supporter already in 2018.

– I am 100% a Trump supporter. I admire this man deeply because I myself was in the closet when it came to my beliefs when I was working in Hollywood. When my politics started to change, I realized that Hollywood is a homogenous community, says Miller, who worked in the media industry.

Miller remains charged with possession of a loaded gun and a high-capacity magazine. He is currently out on $5,000 bail.
