Katie Miller Tells Cenk Uygur to 'Check' His Citizenship During Heated TV Panel

The comment about a naturalized U.S. citizen drew swift viral backlash online.

Overview

  • On Piers Morgan Uncensored, a panel discussion about Zohran Mamdani and Israel devolved into a confrontation between Katie Miller and Cenk Uygur.
  • Miller threatened to walk off after Uygur called her a liar, with both trading accusations over antisemitism and personal attacks.
  • During the exchange, Miller told Uygur to "check your citizenship application," a remark interpreted as a deportation threat toward the Turkish-born naturalized citizen and referencing Ilhan Omar.
  • A clipped segment of the comment spread widely on social media, prompting criticism from journalists and commentators, with no formal responses reported from Miller or the White House in the coverage.
  • The moment drew added scrutiny given Miller’s marriage to Stephen Miller, a chief advocate of hardline deportation policies, and panelist Omar Baddar argued that calling someone a liar is not an antisemitic attack.
