The chalk messages were written just days after the assassination of Charlie Kirk in Utah, prompting Miller’s wife, the podcaster and former communications official Katie Miller, to post a message of defiance on social media.

“To the ‘Tolerant Left’ who spent their day trying to intimidate us in the house where we have three young children: We will not back down. We will not cower in fear. We will double down. Always, For Charlie,” she posted via X on Sept. 14

I mean the known messages listed in the article were

“Stephen Miller is destroying democracy,” “stop the kidnapping,” "we 🤍 immigrants,” “hate has no home in Arlington,” “no white nationalism,” “trans rights are human rights”

Also:

She [Millers Wife] subsequently posted a photo of “DEI enriches us all” written in chalk on a sidewalk, labeling it “the rallying cry of the losers of the Left.”

This sounds so much like Satire. Coming from a real person this sounds so delusional, it makes my schizophrenic ex more coherent during one of their episodes.

Also the house flipping angle (we want a Meeeellion Dollars more than what we paid for two years ago) makes this story even more absurd.

I think they were planning to sell anyway and the chalking happened during the selling process so they thought they could drum up some outrage from it.

Why would any good fascist pass up an opportunity to propagandize the flock?

Love this though--now it's not likely gonna sell to a liberal, bc who the fuck in their right mind wants whatever that house is cursed with after that scum infested the place? But it's also not likely to get sold to a conservative bc why would they want to make a target of themselves? I hope that place just rots on the market for eternity ♥️
