‘Left-wing terror!’ Stephen Miller’s wife melts down over 'abhorrent' cartoon of him

Katie Miller, the wife of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, melted down Monday over a cartoon caricature of her husband that she decried as an “abhorrent image” that could perpetuate “left-wing terror.”

The caricature was drawn by illustrator and filmmaker Matt Muhurin. It was used in an analysis published Monday in The New Republic, highlighting the irony of Stephen Miller’s fierce “anti-immigrant project” given his Jewish ancestors who fled Tsarist Russia to avoid state-sanctioned antisemitic discrimination.

“This is an abhorrent image meant to incite violence,” Katie Miller wrote Monday in a social media post on X. “This is your far-left who I was confidently told was trying to bring down the hateful rhetoric. What a joke these people are. This is how Left-Wing Terror is perpetuated.”

The illustration depicts Stephen Miller with an enlarged head, blank stare, and with several tentacles being used to separate migrants from their families, a clear reference to his deep involvement in the Trump administration’s aggressive deportation policy that has sent migrants to notoriously dangerous and deadly prisons abroad and targeted those with no criminal history outside of their immigration status.

Stephen Miller’s great-great-grandfather, Wolf Laib, immigrated to the United States from Tsarist Russia – the autocratic monarchy that preceded the Bolshevik Revolution in 1917 and subsequent formation of the Soviet Union – in an effort to avoid prosecution. Laib immigrated to the United States before the Immigration Act of 1924, which imposed strict ethnic quotas that would have barred his entry had he arrived later.

“Strikingly,” wrote The New Republican, Stephen Miller has championed that law — the very law that would have barred his own great-great-grandfather from immigrating to the United States.

Katie Miller has a history of reacting strongly to what she perceives as attacks on herself or her husband.
