Stephen Miller Mocked for Deploying Podcaster Wife to Save Job

The Trump adviser’s pregnant wife is doing damage control.

The White House has left Stephen Miller—the architect behind both Trump administrations’ most severe immigration policies—out in the cold amid mounting backlash after a second U.S. citizen was killed by a federal agent in Minnesota.

Now, he’s being ridiculed as his pregnant wife, Katie Miller, steps in to try to douse the flames.

The MAGA podcaster joined the blame game after Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem appeared to knife Miller through a so-called “person close to Noem” on Tuesday night. The source told Axios that Noem’s failed defense of the fatal shooting of ICU nurse Alex Pretti, 37, in Minneapolis—that he was a “domestic terrorist” who “brandished” a gun—was “done at the direction of the president and Stephen.”

Soon after, Katie, 34, posted a screenshot of her husband’s official response to the Axios report on X, shifting blame for both Pretti’s death and the White House’s mischaracterization of him as an assassin onto Noem, 54, and U.S. Customs and Border Protection.
