Critics Slam Stephen Miller’s Wife For On-Air Threat To Have Pundit's Citizenship Revoked

The wife of White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller, the architect behind some of the most controversial immigration and family separation policies under President Donald Trump, has since been getting excoriated by legions of infuriated critics on social media.

Her comment itself Wednesday was drowned out by shouting, but has since gone viral.

Katie Miller’s warning Wednesday has thus been met on social media with disgust from journalists, political pundits and plain onlookers alike. Pulitzer Prize-winning reporter Glenn Greenwald quoted a clip of the moment on X, formerly Twitter, and added his own unbridled criticism.

“Threatening to have your husband deport an American citizen because he criticized you in a TV debate, and more so because he criticized the foreign country you love so deeply, is about as twisted and authoritarian a mindset as you’ll find,” he wrote Thursday.

Uygur was comparing the Israeli Defense Force to Nazi Germany’s Schutzstaffel when Miller made her threat. The “Young Turks” host seemed not to catch it, and was arguing that Israel’s military has acted with impunity in bombing Gaza and killing Palestinian children.

Miller tried to conflate his words with antisemitism, prompting Uygur to call Miller and her husband liars. She then noted that they are “raising Jewish children in this country” and threatened to walk off after decrying Uygur’s comments as “racist, bigoted rhetoric.”
