Katie Miller, spouse of Stephen Miller, the White House Deputy Chief of Staff for Policy, recently defended her husband against what she termed as a "pathetic" attack by Democratic New York Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez.
The incident unfolded on Fox's "Hannity" show, where Mrs. Miller suggested that the Democrats' resort to personal attacks was a sign of their political desperation.
According to the Daily Caller, Ocasio-Cortez had previously posted a video on Instagram in which she ridiculed Stephen Miller, labeling him a "clown" and making fun of his height. Sean Hannity, the host of the show, highlighted this video, criticizing the Democrats for their "non-stop rhetoric."
This criticism was particularly poignant given that the Miller family had previously been doxed.
In response to the video, Katie Miller said, "Theres nothing more comical than a sad, petty, childless adult who flies around on private planes while bemoaning the rich. What youre seeing here is just the Democratic and the far left attacking every single one of President Trumps aides and people who support him because they know their policies are failing."
Ocasio-Cortez's video, which ran for over an hour, included claims that Republicans were "scrapping and grasping at straws because they have nothing else." This was in response to GOP criticism of Democrats' attempts to include healthcare for illegal immigrants in the recent spending bill.
The Democratic lawmaker also targeted Stephen Miller, suggesting he was "angry" about his height and encouraging her supporters to "laugh" at "insecure" Republican men.
Katie Miller further argued that the Democrats' dwindling support was driving them to resort to personal attacks against "people and their families." She said, "When you see Americans who overwhelmingly support safe streets, closed borders, and you have a Democratic Party who does nothing but support the exact opposite, theyre flailing. And all they can do is resort to personal attacks and attacks against people and their families, which is so weak and so pathetic and so laughable that thats all thats left."
She also expressed her gratitude to President Trump for his efforts to ensure the safety of American families. "Thats what is so pathetic about the latest attack. I have nothing else to do but laugh because I know that what were doing at the end of the day is making America safe again, not only for my children, but for our countrys children," she said. "And I thank President Trump each and every day for all hes doing for families across our country."
In 2018, Univision-owned news site Splinter published a post on Stephen Miller that included his cellphone number, encouraging readers to call him about the Trump administration's "policy of separating immigrant children from their families," a policy they attributed to him.
Moreover, the Millers have faced other forms of protest, including a sidewalk chalk protest outside their home in September. Activists reportedly wrote messages such as "no white nationalism," "Stephen Miller is destroying democracy," and "hate has no home in Arlington."
Despite these attempts at intimidation, Katie Miller remained defiant, vowing that their family would "not back down." This incident underscores the increasingly personal nature of political discourse, with families often caught in the crossfire.
