Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day: Mary Miller- 2023 Update [1]

['This Content Is Not Subject To Review Daily Kos Staff Prior To Publication.']

Date: 2023-07-24  

On this date one year ago, “Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day” posted our original profile of Mary Miller, the sitting U.S. House Representative for Illinois’ 15th Congressional District, first elected to office in the 2020 elections, and who is the wife of a fella we’ve already profiled, Chris Miller. We will say right now, though, that while her husband was up to his eyeballs in sedition on January 6th, Congresswoman Miller isn’t exactly just getting guilt by association, she’s making statements and doing questionable things all on her own that make it clear the both of them have made it clear they don’t really take that oath they swear to the Constitution very seriously.



After winning office to replace the climate change denying monolith, John Shimkus, Mary Miller’s first days in Washington saw her focused solely on spreading Donald Trump’s “Big Lie” of election fraud, and she claimed the 2020 election was “tainted”, saying her first priority in DC was to challenge the election results (even though she won office in them). She was quickly gaining favor among Trump loyalists that she managed to snag herself a speaking slot at the pre-coup attempt rally hosted by Moms of America on January 5th, 2021, where she talked about what “Hitler got right”, and then quoted the f***ing head of the Third Reich in the middle of our nation’s capitol. And there’s video of her saying it:

She gave a half-hearted apology three days later, because she also had the embarrassment of her husband having hung out with seditionists that stormed her new workplace to try and murder the Vice-President for not setting Donald Trump as America’s authoritarian dictator two days later. But, y’know, she was talking about how cool Hitler was, guys were jumping through the Capitol Building’s windows wearing “Camp Auschwitz” shirts, it seemed to be a whole theme of the coup.



Anyway, after several months of just being an awful legislator who kept her mouth shut to not praise Adolf f***ing Hitler unprompted again, Miller started to get a little cocky, and was trying to stir the pot of homophobic and transphobic bulls*** the GOP were cooking up going into the 2022 elections, claiming Democrats and teachers were “grooming” America’s youth to be victims of abuse. At CPAC in February of 2022, Miller was trying to write an alternative history where “ God was taken out of our schools ”, when based on the separation of church and state, he shouldn’t have been there in the first place.



So with all her fearmongering about recognizing more than two genders and not letting the Fundies start having church revivals in homeroom, it was not at all surprising that Mary Miller’s 2022 re-election campaign was employing a known child sex offender who tried to lure and underage boy on the internet.



Republican Hypocrisy? Doing something worse than what you accuse the other side of? THE HELL YOU SAY.



If we haven’t painted enough of a picture for you that this lady is the worst, she gleefully celebrated Roe v. Wade with Donald Trump at her side being overturned by putting the ruling in a… very racial context. And yes, there’s video again:

Her spokesman tried claiming she misspoke and meant to say “right to life”, but it’s hard to give someone who glowingly thinks of Hitler and is dead set on supporting a white nationalist like Donald Trump the benefit of the doubt here.



Because frankly, she legislates to reflect the things she blurts out:

After redistricting in 2022 left some members of the Illinois Republican caucus having to play musical chairs for their house seats, Mary Miller was forced into a GOP Primary with veteran Republican Congressman Rodney Davis, which to our dismay, she actually advanced out of with 57% of the vote in spite of saying nice things about Hitler and hanging out with a pedophile, but Republicans flocked to her because Davis voted to create a January 6th commission, infuriating Donald Trump and netting Miller his endorsement. And OF COURSE GOP voters are still hung up on the blessing of the former guy.



We hope someone can successfully knock her out of office in the GOP Primary, for no other reasons than doing so in the spirit of “F*** Nazis”, we also believe, “F*** anybody who speaks highly of them.”
