Here is the full post on truthsocial: “Subscribe Stephen Miller Just Gave An On-Air Masterclass on Why The GOP is “The Party of Trump” ”Nobody has done more to rebuild and save the Republican Party than Trump since Abraham Lincoln himself“ ”President Trump inherited a broken shell, a hollowed out husk of a political party after the Bush years, after the Ryan years, after the sellout years, and he turned it into the working class party, the middle class party.“ ”He pulverized that blue wall. How many Senate races have we seen? Where President Trump won a state by 8 points, 9 points, 10 points, 11 points, and it was just enough to bring along the Republican senator by half a point or a point to build that Senate Republican majority?“ Well said @StephenM” on August 19, 2026 at 9:54 PM ET.

The post originated with Benny Johnson, a conservative commentator and podcaster who serves as chief creative officer of Turning Point USA, according to politifact. Johnson has written for conservative and right-leaning outlets including Breitbart News, TheBlaze, National Review and The Daily Caller, according to timesofindia.indiatimes. He began his career at Glenn Beck’s The Blaze in 2011 before moving to BuzzFeed News, which fired him in 2014 after uncovering 41 instances of plagiarism, according to timesofindia.indiatimes.
Stephen Miller, a political adviser to Trump, features throughout the post praising the president’s role in reshaping the party. The remarks attribute to Miller a series of claims about Senate races and the president’s margins in individual states. The image shared with the post does not show when or where Miller made the statements, only that Johnson attributed them to him.
