The Katie Miller Podcast: an aggressively vibeless curriculum for the Maga mom

The wife of the Trump adviser aims to entice conservative women into Maga - but like much of the rest of the movement, her sales pitch is fundamentally lacking

When Katie Miller, the wife of Donald Trump's powerful adviser Stephen Miller, interviewed Pete Hegseth on her podcast last week, she didn't ask him about whether the war secretary had ordered the US military to kill the shipwrecked survivors of an airstrike.
