The recent arrest of Vem Miller, a well-known supporter of President Trump, outside a Coachella rally has become a circus act in itself. The Hollywood conservative Mindy Robinson, a friend and colleague of Miller’s, has stepped into the limelight to clarify what really happened on that eventful day. According to Robinson, the whole scenario around Miller’s arrest was overblown, painted by a group eager to play heroic cops. In other words, the narrative pushed by law enforcement appears alarmingly skewed.
Miller was arrested on October 12, just a stone’s throw away from where Trump was set to speak. However, Robinson asserts that anyone who knows Miller can see he isn’t the type to stage an assassination. Her defense hinges on a thorough review of Miller’s decades-long pro-Trump social media presence, which she claims would make any suggestion of ill intent laughable. Looking at the facts, it becomes clear that there’s a distinct disconnect between what really occurred and how some in authority are framing the story.

Robinson outlines a stark contrast between Miller’s intentions and law enforcement’s portrayal of him as a potential threat to the president. She humorously noted that their recent collaboration on a documentary about the Bundy Ranch incident had sparked her initial fear that Miller was being framed by the very agencies that should be protecting citizens. After all, wouldn’t a pro-Trump supporter bringing a firearm to a rally automatically ring alarm bells about a setup rather than an assassination plot?
During the media frenzy, Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco got caught up in the whirlwind. With a flair for sensationalism, he claimed deputies felt compelled to investigate Miller’s vehicle due to its disorganized state and “off-center” positioning. Robinson pushed back against the sheriff’s self-aggrandizing statements. Why, she mused, would a pro-Trump individual—someone who consistently stands against the “Deep State”—be treated as a would-be assassin? It sounds suspicious enough that there must be some ulterior motive at play.
Moreover, in the conservative corner of the pool, the discussion quickly shifts to California’s draconian gun laws, which some believe serve to disarm law-abiding citizens rather than protect them. Robinson pointed out Miller’s lack of awareness regarding the multitude of firearms that are illegal in the Golden State. She expressed disbelief that even guns with minor violations could lead to disastrous implications for responsible gun owners. After all, if the very essence of self-defense were to be stripped away by convoluted laws, where does that leave freedom-loving Americans?
While the situation seems to be veering out of control for Miller, he managed to dodge a night behind bars, receiving merely a ticket for the incident. The absurdity of being labeled a possible assassin for merely carrying a concealed firearm in California reinforces the ridiculousness that often permeates discussions of gun rights. In the grand scheme of things, Miller’s story serves as another reminder of the ridiculous notion that supporters of the Constitution are somehow at odds with the government that is meant to protect their rights. Instead, cases like this highlight the need for a more personal understanding of the laws that govern Second Amendment advocates across the country.
