Legal analyst shocked by racist joke from Katie Miller



Katie Miller, wife of President Donald Trump's adviser Stephen Miller, drew criticism on MS NOW's "Morning Joe" for a social media post celebrating a Supreme Court ruling on immigration policy.

On Friday, the panel was discussing Justice Samuel Alito's majority opinion, which found nothing racist in Trump's comments about Somali and Haitian immigrants, prompting a dissent from Justice Elena Kagan.

Legal analyst Lisa Rubin highlighted Katie's X post, stating, "Great news for the dogs and cats of Springfield," referencing the debunked 2024 election conspiracy theory that Haitians were attacking pets in Springfield, Ohio.

Rubin said she gasped audibly when reading the post.

Co-host Jonathan Lemire noted that Stephen Miller, the policy's architect, celebrated the ruling, and other conservative figures, including Megyn Kelly, made "loathsome racist" comments about the decision.

“Stephen Miller did a victory lap yesterday. Other voices on the right, Megan Kelly in particular, said some pretty loathsome racist things you know, about this celebration, celebrating this decision,” Lemire added.
