Illinois Republican Congresswoman Mary Miller made what will likely go down in history as the biggest f*ck up of her life this past weekend when, during Donald Trump’s Save America rally in her state, she openly and publicly thanked the disgraced ex-president for “a victory for white life” in reference to his role in the recent overturning of Roe V. Wade — and now she’s desperate to do some damage control.
Mary Miller, who’s certainly no stranger to controversy as she once literally invoked Adolf Hitler in a speech, hopped up on stage with the one-term, twice-impeached former president during Saturday night’s Save America rally in Mendon, IL, where the ex-president hailed the Supreme Court’s overturning of federal abortion rights as a “WIN for life.”
Miller, of course, was equally if not more excited about the civil rights violation from the SCOTUS, but it seemed she let her excitement get the better of her, resulting in one of the worst Freudian slips we’ve ever born witness to.
“Thank you so much, President Trump, I am so honored to have your endorsement,” Miller said as she opened her quick speech to the MAGA crowd, before going on to personally relay her thanks to Donald Trump for his part in securing the heinous ruling. And that’s where things got ugly. “President Trump, on behalf of all the MAGA patriots in America, I want to thank you for the historic victory for white life in the Supreme Court yesterday.”

The Associated Press reached out to Miller’s team after reporting on the congresswoman’s disgusting remarks, and the walk-back of all walk-backs promptly ensued. Miller’s spokesperson, Isaiah Wartman, said Miller’s remarks were nothing more than a simple “mix-up of words,” as she had meant to say that the ruling was a victory for a “right to life.” He went on to tell the AP, “You can clearly see in the video…she’s looking at her papers and looking at her speech.”
In addition to the congresswoman’s spokesman, Miller’s campaign also spoke with the AP and essentially said it should be no big deal because she has several nonwhite grandchildren, including one with Down syndrome.
