The man arrested outside Donald Trump's Coachella rally has broken his silence, confirming he's a supporter of the former president and denied he was attempting to shoot him. 

Vem Miller, 49, is a registered Republican who tried to present fake VIP credentials at a Trump rally on Saturday and then found himself arrested on illegal firearms charges. 

A friend and business partner of Miller told DailyMail.com he is a full-blown Trump supporter and slammed police for 'not understanding he's one of us'.

Speaking out for the first time since his arrest, Miller said that while he keeps firearms in his car to protect against death threats, he has never fired one before and says he's 'beyond a novice' about them.

'I've literally never even shot a gun in my life,' Miller said. 'I don't know anything about guns.'

'I'm an artist, I'm the last person that would cause any violence and harm to anybody,' he told the Press Enterprise, adding the accusations were 'complete bulls***.' 

When asked by Fox News about his political beliefs, he confirmed: 'Yes, I'm 100% a Trump supporter.'

He added that while he'd supported Democrat Barack Obama in the past, thinking he would 'save us from needless wars and censorship,' he's drifted rightward to libertarianism.

'I'm certainly more Republican now,' he said, claiming that he's been 'all-in' on Trump since 2018. 

Miller said that he briefly flirted with supporting Bernie Sanders 'without realizing the implications of socialism' but has come to see Trump as 'a visual example of freedom of speech.' 

'This is a man that I deeply admire, because I was a closet individual in terms of my beliefs, because I worked in Hollywood. As my politics started to change, I realized that Hollywood is a homogenous community,' he added.
