Coachella Rally Vem Miller Incident: Who’s Telling The Truth?

Just a day after allegations of Vem Miller being stopped by Riverside County deputies with guns in his car on his way to Donald Trump’s Saturday Coachella rally, Fox News has a front page story headlined ‘Man arrested outside Trump Coachella rally denies assassination intent; he's 'all in' supporting Trump’.

It seems to be another one of those of ‘He didn’t know the gun was loaded’ stories.

According to Fox, “A source close to the Trump campaign also told Fox News's Bill Melugin, and another told Fox News' Bryan Preston, that they do not believe this was an assassination attempt on Trump.

“A source close to the Trump campaign” is not the Trump campaign, fellas.

“A spokesperson for the Trump campaign issued a statement to Fox News Digital and said they were monitoring the situation.” (Fox News, 10 p.m.,Oct. 13, 2024)

“The man being accused of a potential third assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump spoke with Fox News Digital and says the claims against him are false in his first extended interview since his arrest.

“Vem Miller, 49, said he reported the guns to authorities, which he says he always travels with despite never using them, at a checkpoint to get into Trump's Coachella rally> on Saturday evening and denied that documents Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco said were fake are legit.

“His arrest on gun charges sparked speculation, following two assassination attempts on Trump since July. But he was quickly released on $5,000 bail and so far, no federal charges have been filed.

(Not only was Miller “quickly released on $5,000 bail and so far, no federal charges have been filed”, he is not scheduled to appear at the Indio Larson Justice Center until Jan. 2, 2025.”

"I always travel around with my firearms in the back of my truck," Miller told Fox News Digital in a phone interview. (Fox News)

"He says he has never fired them, but he started keeping them with him when he started getting death threats.

"I've literally never even shot a gun in my life," Miller said.

"I don't know anything about guns. I am beyond a novice," he continued.

In light of the two assassinations on Donald trump, who drives to a Trump rally with firearms in his vehicle?

“Miller said he has been a 30-year member of the media and started work after graduating from high school. He has also worked on music videos and TV shows with major artists, and launched America Happens Network to combat "censorship" in the media. It was while doing this work that Miller told Fox he began receiving death threats, and purchased his firearms. (Fox News)

"Miller said he was a Democrat growing up, and thought Barack Obama was going to "save us from needless wars and censorship.”

"I'm certainly more Republican now," he says, and described himself and his business partner as more libertarian. (Fox News)

"Yes, I'm 100% a Trump supporter," Miller said, adding that he was "all-in" with Trump by 2018.

"This is a man that I deeply admire, because I was a closet individual in terms of my beliefs, because I worked in Hollywood. As my politics started to change, I realized that Hollywood is a homogenous community," Miller continued.

“Miller said he flirted with Sanders "without realizing the implications of socialism" but now, and since 2018, he has "Constitutional beliefs," calling Trump a "visual example of freedom of speech." (Fox News)

"Miller even called Trump "brave" and said he admires the former president for going after the media.

“When asked about all the fake ID's and passports he had in his car, Miller claimed not one of them was a fake.

"None of those are fake," he says of the passes and IDs that were in his possession.

“Miller says he's Armenian and has documents that use his full Armenian name and documents that don't, because using those documents in some places around the world could get him killed, referring to campaigns over the centuries to murder Armenians.

“As for the sheriff's accusation that he is "far-right," Miller says, "That's another nonsensical statement."

Miller could be right in bucking sheriff accusations about his being “far-right”. Nobody “far right” would ever “flirt” with Communist Bernie Sanders.

Finally, could it be that the legacy media, is working on separating Trump from his MAGA base?

Just like misleading election polls, only time will tell.

Meanwhile readers will have to judge for themselves whether Vem Miller had any ill intent when he drove to Trump’s Coachella rally with multiple firearms in his vehicle.

Hang on, folks, we’re in for a bumpy ride for the next three weeks.
