Katie Miller made a veiled threat to deport a political commentator during a heated debate about New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani on Thursday.
The wife of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller appeared on a panel of commentators on “Piers Morgan Uncensored.” While arguing with The Young Turks co-creator Cenk Uygur, the debate quickly turned ugly. The shouting match devolved into Miller questioning the validity of Uygur’s U.S. citizenship application.
Miller accused Uygur of “racist, bigoted rhetoric” around Israel and Uygur countered that Miller was a habitual liar. When Cenk floated the idea that Israel got a “pass” on committing genocide against Palestinians, Miller wondered if the Trump administration might need to take a closer look at his recently granted citizenship.
Miller cut in. “You better check your citizenship application and make sure everything is correct,” she said. “Because you’ll be just like Ilhan Omar.”
Many of those same people will admit to it when they think it’s a safe audience.
I’ve been mistaken for “safe” plenty of times. They still don’t self-identify as racist.
They’ll say things like “the blacks are just genetically more violent, and we need to protect ourselves by keeping them out of our town”, but that’s not “racist” because they’re “just telling the facts” that the libs try to force society to ignore.
They think it’s equivalent to saying women tend to have less facial hair, which isn’t sexist, and we’re insisting that it is because we’re “woke” and living in denial because of that ideology.
When they do admit to being racist, its tongue in cheek to make fun of their accusers, like if I were to call myself a “communist socialist liberal extremist”.
God it feels icky steelmanning them, but it’s important to understand your enemy.
