Mary Miller praised former President Donald Trump for appointing conservative Supreme Court justices and remarked that he paved the way for "the historic victory for white life" after the high court overturned abortion rights.
While speaking to the pro- Trump audience, the Illinois Republican praised the former president, who is backing her in the 15th congressional district GOP primary.
Thank you so much. Miller said she was honored to have your endorsement.
She thanked the president for the victory for white life in the Supreme Court.
Trump appointed conservative judges to the Supreme Court. The majority opinion issued on Friday that upheld the Mississippi law banning most abortions in the state was joined by all three of them.

The congresswoman began clapping when Trump stood beside her at the "Save America" rally.
According to Miller's campaign, the congresswoman meant to say "right to life" instead of "white life" when she spoke at the rally.

Miller said that she would always defend the right to life.
After taking office, the congresswoman caused controversy and ire with her actions. She made comments at a "Save the Republic" rally in January of 2021.
She said that each generation has a responsibility to teach and train the next generation. If we don't win the hearts and minds of our children, we're going to be losing. This is the fight.
She said that Hitler was correct in saying that whoever has the youth has the future. Children are being propagandized.
At the time of the remarks, Tammy Duckworth of Illinois called for Miller to step down.
The lawmaker said that if someone said that Hitler was right about anything it would disqualify them from being in Congress.
Miller backtracked and affirmed her support of Israel after initially pushing back the backlash.
Miller's campaign has been contacted by Insider.
