On Monday, January 19, 2026, Katie Miller—host of The Katie Miller Podcast and wife of top White House advisor Stephen Miller—sparked a viral wave of mockery after an "America First" rant against California Governor Gavin Newsom backfired, inadvertently targeting President Donald Trump.
The incident occurred as the World Economic Forum (WEF) kicked off in Davos, Switzerland, a frequent target of "populist" criticism.
The "America First" Critique
In a post on X (formerly Twitter), Miller aimed to frame Newsom’s attendance at the global summit as a betrayal of American values. She wrote:
“Of course Gavin Newsom is going to Davos. Nothing quite says America First like commiserating to the crowd of the World's Elites. You either stand up for America or you should sit down.”
The Accidental "Friendly Fire"
The post immediately drew laughter and corrections because Miller appeared to have overlooked her own husband's boss's schedule. President Trump was also set to arrive in Davos that same week.
The Conflict: While Miller characterized attending Davos as the antithesis of "standing up for America," Trump was preparing for a high-profile Wednesday appearance to launch his new "Board of Peace" and meet with global CEOs.
The Internet's Response: Within minutes, the post was flooded with screenshots of news headlines confirming Trump’s travel plans. Users labeled the post a "textbook self-own" and "spectacular friendly fire," pointing out that by Miller's own logic, the President should also "sit down."
Political Context
The blunder comes at a time of heightened tension between the White House and the California Governor.
"Voldemort" vs. "Daddy Newsom": Newsom has recently intensified his social media "trolling" of the administration, reportedly referring to Stephen Miller as "Voldemort" in private.
The Podcast War: On New Year’s Day, Newsom’s team specifically targeted Katie Miller in a series of "savage" posts, debunking her claims about California's healthcare policies.
White House Silence
While Katie Miller is a private citizen and podcaster, her close ties to the administration’s inner circle made the error particularly embarrassing for the "America First" messaging team. Neither the White House nor Stephen Miller has commented on the post, which was widely shared by "Never Trump" accounts and late-night comedy writers as evidence of a lack of coordination in the administration’s media offensive.
