Rep. Mary Miller, who once quoted Hitler at a conservative rally, claims she misspoke when she called the Supreme Court's dismantling of Roe v. Wade a 'victory for white life.' (via MaddowBlog)

Republican Rep. Mary Miller says she misspoke while thanking Donald Trump for delivering a "victory for white life." It's worth considering the context.There’s no great mystery as to when Rep. Rodney Davis fell out of favor with the far-right. The House took up a bipartisan bill to create an independent Jan. 6 commission, and the Illinois Republican was one of several GOP lawmakers to support it.

When redistricting in the state pushed Davis into a primary against fellow Rep. Mary Miller, Donald Trump backed the congresswoman, whom he saw as a more reliable ally. Indeed, the former president even held a rally in Illinois on Saturday, and Miller was invited to introduce Trump at the event.U.S. Rep.

Ordinarily, at Trump rallies, it’s the former president who makes outrageous and offensive comments. This time, Miller’s rhetoric eclipsed anything he said at the gathering.showed, the Illinois congresswoman said, with Trump right behind her, “I want to thank you for the historic victory for white life in the Supreme Court yesterday.” She then raised her arms to applaud, soliciting cheers from attendees, which soon followed.while reading from a prepared text.

I’m not unsympathetic to those who stumble while speaking in public. It’s happened to me, so I know it can be both embarrassing and frustrating.Miller’s track record doesn’t exactly make it easy to give her the benefit of the doubt. Early last year, on literally her second day as a member of Congress, the Illinois Republican“Each generation has the responsibility to teach and train the next generation,” Miller.

But let’s also not brush past the fact that the Trump fans in the crowd heard Miller’s comments and cheered. Miller’s office has said that she misspoke after misreading from a prepared text, and that may very well be true.

MaddowBlog Mistake was the dinner table convo made it to stage.

MaddowBlog Fascist 😖

MaddowBlog Of course she did

MaddowBlog She meant just what she said!

MaddowBlog Oh Mary Mary Mary come on, really say it an’t so

MaddowBlog Another republican stetford hag

MaddowBlog Go back to school, get some speech lessons.

MaddowBlog These people are so ignorant! Biden says he will codify Roe v Wade which means that ALL women, no matter what state they live in all women have a right to travel and seek an abortion without interference!

MaddowBlog We ALL heard the words, WE KNOW HER HEART, SHE DID NOT MISSPEAK.. The malignancy that is the GOP must be excised from modern America unless you all crave the good old days of slavery, repression, suppression, graft and corruption.. The wealthy will do fine, y'all not so much!

MaddowBlog Technically... I'm pretty sure POC babies will benefit most.

MaddowBlog Vote This is what you get So who's voting for Garbage like this

MaddowBlog Your dishonesty is shocking. I heard what she said and she obviously stumbled on a word and then corrected herself. Corrupt leftist networks like yours don’t seem to apply similar standards to statements by the Gaffe Master in Chief.

MaddowBlog No, she didn’t. That is exactly how she thinks.

MaddowBlog It's always either a joke or an accident isn't it. Just remember when you allow the right wing white supremacists to continue to do this s*** they feel like they can just keep doing it. The white supremacists in Boston today knew what she said.

MaddowBlog Nope. She spoke EXACTLY what she wanted to say!!!

MaddowBlog If Democrats had a fraction of the willpower before they get pregnant, they seem to have after, there would be no need for a Roe v Wade. Where is my body my choice willpower attitude and determination when they're around impregnators?

MaddowBlog The only thing people care about is $6 gas. Wake up.

MaddowBlog White supremacist

MaddowBlog Rather it is black women who have abortions more than anyone per capita wise. The left doing their usual deflecting,twisting, and distorting.

MaddowBlog Yep, sure she did.

MaddowBlog

MaddowBlog This is who they really are...

MaddowBlog The real issue of roe versus Wade is choosing life or death. With the choice given to the state. Even Ruth bader Ginsburg wanted it to be so. Dems had a chance to codify it for 50 years Europe it's illegal to have an abortion after 12 weeks. I thought the US to be like Europe.

MaddowBlog Nah. She said exactly what she meant to say.

MaddowBlog She was perfectly clear.

MaddowBlog Even if she misspoke. She still said it. The ppl at that rally and and trump heard her say 'victory for white life' and cheered.

MaddowBlog No kidding she “misspoke” but I don’t believe it was an accident.

MaddowBlog Freudian slips are a bitch.

MaddowBlog No she didn’t ….

MaddowBlog Judicial use of truth here.

MaddowBlog DonaldJTrumpJr tell your dad to stop with these fuckin infiltrator RINO”s or he’s going to loose his base 🤬

MaddowBlog

MaddowBlog If she did, why didn't she correct it at the time?

MaddowBlog Who cares if she 'misspoke'! It's the fact that her mostly white, Christian, right-wing crowd cheered when she said it!
