Rep. Mary E. Miller (R-Ill.) meant to say the Supreme Court's Roe v. Wade decision was a victory for the “right to life,” a spokesman said.

On Friday, Miller hailed the high court’s decision as “a joyous victory.” She said Roe v. Her remark, just two days after she was sworn in as a House member, led to calls for her resignation on social media and from Democrats. We’re asking our readers how they feel in this historic moment and why. The decision in Dobbs v. Read the full decision here. “Hitler was right on one thing. Wade a “victory for white life,” which was met with cheers at a rally held by former president Donald Trump. That likely will mean 52 percent of women of childbearing age would face new abortion limits. Others pointed out that many in the crowd seemed unfazed by Miller’s comment. Wade had “done untold damage to our country,” and she accused the “cruel abortion industry” of deceiving Americans. She thanked Trump for helping to overturn Roe by “appointing Supreme Court justices who value life.” They applauded,” tweeted columnist Ahmed Baba, who writes for the Independent. Miller’s spokesman, Isaiah Wartman, told the Associated Press that the Illinois Republican misread her prepared speech and was supposed to declare the divisive court ruling a victory for the “right to life.”

At Trump rally in Illinois, Rep. Mary Miller calls reversal of Roe a ... (Chicago Sun-Times)

Miller and Rep. Rodney Davis are facing off in a GOP primary battle where some $12 million in outside money is flooding the 15th congressional district.

Miller said at the rally that Davis voted for the “sham Jan. 6 witch hunt,” a reference a reasonable person would take to be the Jan. 6 committee investigating the Capitol attacks and Trump’s role in trying to overturn the election. In her apology, she couldn’t just own up to the mistake and leave it at that — she also said, “some are trying to intentionally twist my words to mean something antithetical to my beliefs.” But when it comes to the benefit of the doubt, Miller does not offer it to others. RINO — Republican in Name Only — is a term long hurled against Republicans seen as not part of the conservative wing of the party. Only two Republicans voted for it, and they ended up on the committee — Reps. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois and Liz Cheney of Wyoming. In June, 2021, the House voted 222-190 to create the panel. Miller is asking, in the wake of her “victory for white life” remark, for a break. In office less than a week, she said at a pro-Trump rally in Washington, “Hitler was right on one thing.” She was blasted for the uninformed and repugnant remark. Wade was a “victory for white life.” RINO now means, in this Trump era, anyone who is not a staunch Trump defender, or is not an election denier or a likely backer of his comeback 2024 presidential bid. Our victories for life and the second amendment would have have been possible if the never Trump RINOs had gotten their way.” Wartman in a sense is asking for people to be charitable, to give Miller the benefit of the doubt.
