Katie Miller, a prominent podcaster and wife of White House Deputy Chief of Staff Stephen Miller, has drawn significant attention on social media following a grammatical error in her recent post about women’s education. The incident unfolded on September 29, 2023, when Miller shared her views on the “biological function” of women, but misused the phrase “more education” instead of “more educated.”
The post, made via X (formerly Twitter), highlighted a chart from the Financial Times illustrating the correlation between a country’s wealth and lower fertility rates. In her message, Miller stated, “As countries get richer, women become more education and have increased career opportunities.” This mistake did not go unnoticed, prompting a flurry of mockery across various social media platforms.
Critics quickly seized the opportunity to ridicule Miller, with one user responding, “Aren’t you a college graduate? ‘Women become more education….’ You could use AI to proofread for you.” Another added, “This obviously doesn’t apply to you,” referencing her educational background. A third user expressed disbelief, stating, “What the actual f*** is she talking about? Seems someone needs an education before lecturing others.”
Beyond the grammar issue, Miller’s post included controversial assertions about women’s roles, claiming, “As birth control becomes more available, fertility drastically decreases. Too many women take birth control and ignore basic biology — our core biological function is procreation.” This statement aligns with sentiments expressed by billionaire Elon Musk, who has frequently warned of the societal implications of declining birth rates.
Miller, a mother of three and currently pregnant, is known for her conservative views and support for policies aligned with the MAGA movement. Her past includes working for Musk during the early days of Donald Trump‘s second term as a spokeswoman for the now-defunct Department of Government Efficiency.
On September 28, 2023, Miller appeared on a segment of Fox Business alongside host Larry Kudlow. During the broadcast, Kudlow remarked on Musk’s AI chatbot, Grok AI, suggesting it was “the only AI that’s not woke.” Grok AI has faced its share of controversies, including generating inappropriate content and producing pro-Adolf Hitler messaging earlier this year, which further complicates the narrative surrounding figures like Miller.
The Independent has reached out to Miller for comment through the contact form on the “Katie Miller Pod” website, but as of now, no response has been received.
The incident has sparked broader discussions about the intersection of education, social media, and the public discourse surrounding women’s roles in society. As the backlash continues, it remains to be seen how Miller will address the criticism and what impact this might have on her public persona and career.
