The wife of Trump henchman Stephen Miller erupted during a heated panel on Piers Morgan Uncensored Wednesday night, which ended with her threatening never to return to the show.
Katie Miller, who served as deputy press secretary during President Donald Trump’s first administration, is married to Stephen Miller, the architect of many of Trump’s most controversial immigration and border policies, including the family separation policy and travel ban.
The panel—which featured Miller alongside Cenk Uygur, founder and CEO of The Young Turks, fitness personality Jillian Michaels, and Palestinian-American journalist Omar Baddar—was meant to discuss New York mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani’s comments that Islamophobia is “endemic” in the U.S.

Instead, the segment quickly descended into shouting, personal attacks, and a visibly emotional Miller accusing her fellow guests of anti-Semitism.
“Why is it that every time someone wants to criticize Mamdani, it immediately comes back to the Jews and the anti-Israel movement instead of actually talking about his viewpoints?” she asked, voice raised.
Uygur shot back: “Nobody said that, you always do that. You’re totally lying—normal for a Miller to be completely and utterly lying.”
This seemed to set her off. Miller responded sharply: “Quite frankly, I’m really sick and tired of this racist, bigoted rhetoric that comes from people like you against my husband, against my family, and my children. I am raising Jewish children…”

When Uygur interrupted—“Who brought your children into this? What a weirdo”—Miller’s frustration boiled over. “Piers, I’m going to be done with this if you’re going to allow racist and bigot attacks against one of your commentators…” she said, talking over the host.
Morgan tried to interject, but Miller pressed on: “He inserted a line that says the Millers lie. Is that not coded language for therefore we are Jewish?”
Uygur, visibly exasperated, responded: “What?! God, you’re so pathetic.”
When Morgan asked what her “fundamental opposition” to Mamdani was, Miller continued: “Do you agree when your guest says that the Millers always lie? Because that’s what your guest on your show just said.”

She then pivoted to Mamdani, warning he would “ruin New York,” before returning again to her family: “People on your show, instead of arguing the merits of his opinions, are going to sit here and use attacks on my husband and myself instead of debating us on our values and opinions. It is gross, it is racist, and it is bigoted, and I will not join your show again.”
Uygur replied bluntly: “Your values suck, that’s what I’m debating.”
As Morgan attempted to restore order, Miller accused the other guests of joining “anti-Semitic attacks that are so permeating on CNN and MSNBC.”
Baddar pushed back: “Somebody criticizing you personally is not an anti-Semitic attack. If somebody says that you are lying, that is not an attack on Jews. That is an attack on you. Just stop hiding behind identity.”
He continued, “Yes, Stephen Miller is a destructive force in American society. That is not an attack on Jews. That is an attack on him individually—and just deal with the merits of this case.”
Reacting on his Instagram story afterwards, he wrote: “This was a weird one.”
