Overview
- The confrontation occurred on Piers Morgan Uncensored, where Miller told Uygur to verify his citizenship application and invoked Rep. Ilhan Omar in the remark.
- Miller also threatened to walk off after Uygur called her a liar during a segment that began with debate over New York City mayoral candidate Zohran Mamdani and Israel.
- Uygur is a naturalized U.S. citizen who immigrated from Turkey at age eight, a fact widely noted as clips of the moment spread across social media.
- Miller accused Uygur of racist and bigoted rhetoric and said she is raising Jewish children, while panelist Omar Baddar countered that criticism of her was not antisemitic.
- Journalists and commentators, including Glenn Greenwald, condemned the citizenship remark as authoritarian, with no reported policy changes or official actions following the broadcast.
