Hey, we all do it, give her a break, for goodness sakes!
Illinois Republican Mary Miller told a crowd at a rally held alongside former president Donald Trump that the supreme court’s decision to overturn Roe v Wade was a “victory for white life”.
“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,” she said, drawing cheers from the crowd in Illinois…
Miller’s spokesperson said the Illinois Republican had intended to say the decision was a victory for a “right to life”.
Of course, that’s what she meant! It was just a slip, that’s all!! She’d never openly suggest that Republican policies are intended to benefit only white people.
Wait a minute…
The freshman congresswoman, who was among those who voted to overturn the results of the 2020 election, has previously come under criticism for quoting Adolf Hitler.
“Hitler was right on one thing. He said, ‘Whoever has the youth has the future,’” Miller said in a speech last year, according to video posted by WCIA-TV.
That, too, was clearly a slip of the tongue. Of course, it was. She certainly wasn’t suggesting that Republicans should openly emulate Hitler. She’d never suggest such a thing. Not openly.
But that’s exactly what she did.
