White House deputy chief of staff Stephen Miller launched a tirade against the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling upholding mail-in voting, accusing Trump appointee Justice Amy Coney Barrett of 'caving to the radical left' for writing the majority opinion. Miller called the decision a 'travesty' on Fox News's 'The Ingraham Angle' on June 29, 2026, and echoed baseless GOP claims that California's extended ballot counting due to absentee votes amounts to cheating.
Court Rejects GOP Effort to Invalidate Late Mail-In Ballots
The Supreme Court's ruling pushed back against Republican attempts to invalidate mail-in votes that arrive after Election Day, a practice common in several states. Miller warned the decision could be 'extremely damaging' for Republicans in the upcoming midterm elections, then painted a dystopian picture of a Democratic-controlled government.
Miller's Exaggerated Predictions Spark Mockery
'Should the Democrats regain power, it's game over,' Miller said. 'Twelve more justices on SCOTUS, two new Democrat states. They're gonna get rid of the Second Amendment. They're gonna get rid of our borders. They're gonna get rid of our police. They're gonna get rid of ICE, border patrol, DHS and they're gonna elect communists ... who are gonna wreck this country.' His remarks were met with widespread ridicule on social media. One commenter wrote, 'Is he threatening us with a good time?' Another said, 'Sounds awesome. Can't wait.' A third critic noted, 'They can't just create something better instead of continuing to create fear mongering.'
