Rep. Miller pivots from Hitler to God for looney political quotes

Back on January 5, a day before Trump’s failed coup against his election defeat, newbie Illinois representative Mary Miller gained nationwide notoriety with this awkward Hitler reference before a pro Trump group gathering before the next day’s festivities in DC: “If we win a few elections, we’re still going to be losing unless we win the hearts and minds of our children. This is the battle. Hitler was right on one thing. He said, ‘Whoever has the youth has the future.”

Tho she survived an avalanche of calls to resign for using the H word, it took Miller just 7 weeks to offer us another gem. Commenting on conservative extremist Illinois state senator Darren Bailey, who announced his bid to unseat Governor Pritzker next year, Miller opined: “If Darren Bailey is governor of Illinois, then there is a God in Heaven.”

Tho a non-theist, if there were a God I don’t believe he’d be supporting covid denier Senator Darren Bailey. He lost a lawsuit to prevent Gov. Pritzker from extending stay at home orders for more than 30 days when pandemic was raging. By a lopsided 81-27 vote, the Illinois House last May expelled him from a public legislative meeting for refusing to wear a mask. On pandemic at least, Bailey is consistent.

A year earlier Bailey was one of 5 House Republicans to co-sponsor a bill to detach his downstate bailiwick from dreaded Chicago. Think race had anything to do with that legislative braincramp?

Maybe Rep. Miller should resign from the House. She’d be a natural in Stand Up comedy. If she were truly honest, she’d admit her Hitler and God references were ludicrous….but “The devil made me do it”.
