Katie Miller, a prominent MAGA podcaster and wife of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, has become the subject of widespread mockery on social media following a significant grammatical error in a post about women’s education. The incident occurred on October 20, 2023, when Miller addressed the “biological function” of women in a post on X, formerly known as Twitter.
In her post, which included a chart from the Financial Times illustrating lower fertility rates in wealthier nations, Miller wrote, “As countries get richer, women become more education and have increased career opportunities.” The phrase “more education” was quickly identified as a mistake, with critics pointing out that she should have used “more educated” instead.
Responses to the error flooded in from users on social media, many of whom expressed disbelief at the grammatical slip. One user remarked, “Aren’t you a college graduate? ‘Women become more education….’ You could use AI to proofread for you.” Another added, “‘Women become more education’ ???? This obviously doesn’t apply to you.” The ridicule continued as a third individual questioned, “What the actual f*** is she talking about? Seems someone needs an education before lecturing others.”
Miller, 34, who holds a degree from the University of Florida and a master’s in public administration from George Washington University, has a history of promoting conservative views. Her post touched on themes similar to those expressed by billionaire Elon Musk, who has often warned that declining birth rates due to delayed parenthood pose a societal threat.
In addition to her social media presence, Miller frequently appears on conservative platforms. On October 19, 2023, she participated in a segment on Fox Business with Larry Kudlow, where she nodded in agreement as he claimed that Musk “seems to have the only AI that’s not woke.” The discussion surrounding Musk’s AI chatbot, Grok AI, has not been without controversy, having faced backlash for generating inappropriate content and messaging.
Miller’s comments about women’s “core biological function” resonate within a broader debate about family dynamics and societal expectations. This viewpoint aligns with conservative perspectives that often critique modern family planning methods, including the availability of birth control.
As a mother of three who is currently pregnant, Miller’s lifestyle and beliefs contribute to her advocacy for traditional values and policies, including her support for controversial proposals like the annexation of Greenland, which faced significant opposition from Denmark.
The Independent has reached out to Miller for a statement regarding the grammar error and the subsequent online backlash. The incident serves as a reminder of the scrutiny public figures face in the age of social media, where every word can spark debate and ridicule.
