"The president has made clear that he believes America's awesome military might should be used to protect and defend America's interests. Not to surrender the world to our adversaries, to our enemies, to those who would do us harm. Not to surrender the world's resources, lanes of commerce, or capacity to keep our citizens safe. No, America First means America will be the greatest, most unquestioned, unmatched power in the world."
"That's not what America First means. America First means that the U.S. government, which derives its power and legitimacy from the American people, should advance their interests (not Israel's)."
"They are literally just rebranding Neo-Conservatism into America First before our very eyes. This is absolutely disgusting to watch happen."
Stephen Miller, White House Deputy Chief of Staff, faced conservative backlash after redefining America First on Fox News in ways contradicting its original intent. During an interview with Sean Hannity, Miller characterized America First as requiring the U.S. to maintain unmatched global military power, defend American interests worldwide, and avenge American blood—rhetoric aligned with neoconservative interventionism. Conservative critics, including Andrew Day from The American Conservative and commentator Matt Lewis, objected to this redefinition, arguing America First should prioritize American interests over foreign entanglements and other nations' interests. Critics accused Miller and the administration of rebranding neoconservatism under the America First banner.
