The MAGA reality TV and film star, who ran for the Nevada-03 House GOP nomination in 2020 and for the Nevada State Assembly as a Libertarian in 2022, told RedState there is no way her friend Vem Miller, who was booked Oct. 12 on state gun charges outside the Coachella, California, venue where President Donald J. Trump was about to speak, intended to kill the GOP presidential nominee.

“It turns out it was just a bunch of crappy cops trying to be heroes,” said Mindy Robinson, who made a documentary with Miller, the founder of the "America Happens Network" media platform, about the Oct. 1, 2017, Las Vegas shooting.

“I never once thought his intention was to kill Trump, and a scroll through his social media would reveal that in seconds, it goes back years and years,” the Fall River, Massachusetts, native said. 

“Well, obviously, we work together,” she said. “We met each other because not a lot of people will report on the news in Las Vegas.” 

I had a lot more to say that didn't make the cut on Inside Edition...but whatever, I'll take what I can get.

I just don't understand why out of 200+ film/TV credits they pick "Millionaire Matchmaker." Like c'mon, at least use a clip of me getting eaten by a shark or something?🤣 pic.twitter.com/Mvr66PMRdM

Robinson said she and Miller were working on another documentary. 

“Me and Vem had just worked together on a documentary about the Bundy Ranch scandal, which is why when this first happened, my first thought wasn't he was trying to kill the president. That's stupid. It was that he was being set up because of our work, and I guess I gave the feds way too much credit.”

Miller told “Inside Edition” he was not a threat to Trump.

“I'm a huge Trump supporter. I want the president to be protected. I've been to 20-something Trump events,” he said. “I've been to private Trump events where it's like 200 people in the room, and Trump is literally within touching distance.”

The interviewer asked Miller why he came to the Trump rally with firearms.

“I was never trying to enter a Trump rally with a gun. I was going to a private parking lot, and I was going to walk quite a distance to get to the Trump rally,” he said.

Miller also X-posted his "Special Guest" pass for the Trump rally.

I’m going to start posting all the evidence that shows the riverside county sheriff is full of shit, and so is his dip-shit deputy. Not only are they full of it, they are doing criminal actions under the color of law, abusing their power, and thus must be removed from their… pic.twitter.com/XuCI6qJldt

Robinson: Sheriff Bianco mishandled the situation

Robinson said the Riverside County Sheriff Chad Bianco should not have hyped Miller’s arrest.

“This guy's been pro-Trump, anti-Deep State government and all the other things, so the fact that during the press or yesterday, the sheriff was still pushing this as an assassination -- there has to be an ulterior motive there because it just doesn't make sense,” she said.

At an Oct. 13 press conference, Bianco told reporters that his deputies were drawn to Miller’s vehicle before the president took the stage because it seemed off-center. 

“There were many irregularities that popped up,” Bianco said. 

“The deputy noticed that the interior of the vehicle was in quite disarray,” he said.

“The vehicle had an obviously fake license plate, and that prompted further investigation from our deputy into why the person was there and what he was doing,” he said.

“During that investigation, the deputy eventually found multiple passports with multiple names, multiple driver's licenses with different names,” the sheriff said. 

A deputy was also concerned about the license plate, he said.

“The vehicle was unregistered, and the license plate was what we in law enforcement would recognize as one that is homemade and indicative of a group of individuals that claim to be sovereign citizens,” he said. 

Bianco said Miller was not charged with violations of federal law.

“He was eventually booked into jail on those charges, and eventually he was released,” he said. 

“We are actively engaged in working with the Secret Service and the FBI to ensure that this person is followed up on and all of the information that they can gather,” he said. “Anything further will come from the federal government; quite frankly, I don't know if we will be a part of that. We will certainly be a part of it.”

Robinson said Miller is a concealed firearms carrier in Nevada, but he did not treat California as a different jurisdiction, which she argues is another reason to pass national concealed carry reciprocity.

“One of the things that we are pushing for that was about to pass was universal conceal carry so that my conceal carry permit would carry over into the other states just like a driver's license. Which is what Vem is in trouble for right now.”

Miller also was unaware that California has a list of dozens of firearms specifically banned in the Golden State.

“Every gun is basically illegal in California—everything--my little, tiny gun is illegal because it has more than eight rounds in it,” Robinson said.

“He did not understand that absolutely every gun I own is illegal in California for no reason because of the mag capacity or what,” she said. “He did not know that you had to transport the magazine separate from the gun--which makes it completely unusable if someone's trying to carjack you.”

Robinson said California gun laws are unconstitutional and ridiculous, but in the end, Miller did not spend the night in jail.

“He got a ticket, and he got sent home--suddenly it turns into he's trying to assassinate Trump.”
