The White House's top policy adviser called the left a cancer that must be rooted out.
At a State Department summit on political terrorism, speaking to representatives of 67 countries, Miller called left-wing organizations a “cancer” that could “destroy a society,” described leftists broadly as “enemies of civilization,” and said supporters of left-wing causes must face persecution because American institutions had grown too “soft.”
Calling a political movement a disease is the oldest thing in this catalogue, and “rooted out” isn't a metaphor about winning arguments.
It doesn't describe people who commit crimes. It describes everyone who supports a set of causes. Said by a sitting official on an international stage, it tells you what the state intends.
