Wild accusations fly as Stephen Miller's wife picks fight with ex-Trump DHS official
Katie Miller, MAGA podcaster and wife of White House adviser Stephen Miller, kicked a hornet's nest Tuesday when she tried to call out a Florida Republican on social media, only to be met with a flurry of wild accusations.
The saga began when Florida state Sen. Ileana Garcia, who represents part of Miami-Dade County, told The New York Times, “I do think that [President Donald Trump] will lose the midterms because of Stephen Miller." Garcia's comments made waves as she's a Cuban-American and former acolyte of Trump who went all-in on his 2016 campaign, even leaving her career in Spanish-language media to co-found "Latinas for Trump."
Garcia said she knew Stephen Miller during the first term — and didn't like him then.
Her comments reached Katie Miller, who hit back on social media, claiming on X that Garcia was terminated from the Department of Homeland Security during Trump's first term for failing to show up to work.
That didn't sit well with Garcia, who responded with a barrage of fiery accusations and demanded a debate to air their dirty laundry. Her post claimed that Katie Miller once labeled her then-boyfriend a racist when she was upset over how he treated her. Garcia also claimed Miller dismissed her as "a mere token Hispanic for the administration" and demanded answers about White House leaks, directly implicating Katie Miller in the scandal.
She went further, accusing Miller of playing a role in undermining then-DHS Secretary Kirsten Nielsen, claiming Miller "helped carve the floor out from under" Nielsen during Trump's first term.
"@KatieMiller Invite me to your podcast so we can have a candid discussion about what truly transpired and how you labeled your then-boyfriend a racist when you were upset that he treated you poorly and me as a mere token Hispanic for the administration. Let’s discuss who was responsible for the leaks in the White House, and how you helped carve the floor out from under then-Secretary Kirsten Nielsen," she responded.
