Congresswoman Faces Backlash Over Anti-Sikh Remarks | JQJO

Rep. Mary Miller (R-IL) faced widespread condemnation for a since-deleted X post criticizing a Sikh's prayer in the US House. Initially misidentifying the Sikh Granthi as Muslim, Miller claimed the prayer was inappropriate, asserting America's Christian founding. Her remarks drew sharp rebukes from fellow representatives, including Republicans, who highlighted the intolerance and discrimination against Sikh Americans. The Sikh Coalition and other organizations demanded an apology, emphasizing the need to respect religious diversity in Congress.
