Illinois Representative Mary Miller, speaking at a rally with former President Donald Trump on Saturday evening, referred to the Supreme Court's decision to overturn Roe v. Wade as a "victory for white life."

Miller's spokeswoman stated that the Illinois Republican meant to describe the ruling as a win for the "right to life." The line was inconsistent with the disparate impact of the revocation of abortion rights on women of color.

Miller is competing for re-election against Republican Rep. Rodney Davis in the newly reconfigured 15th Congressional District of the state with the support of the previous president. She was invited to speak by Trump, who hosted the rally in Mendon, Illinois, to mobilize voters ahead of Tuesday's primary in the state.

"President Trump, on behalf of all MAGA patriots in the United States, I want to thank you for yesterday's historic victory for white life at the Supreme Court," she added, eliciting applause from the gathering.

Isaiah Wartman, a spokesman for Miller, told The Associated Press that there was a "miscommunication."

"As is evident in the video,... "She is examining her papers and her speech," Wartman remarked.

Her campaign highlighted that she is the grandmother of several non-white grandchildren, including one with Down syndrome.

The freshman lawmaker, who voted to reject the results of the 2020 election, has been criticized in the past for quoting Adolf Hitler.

"Hitler was correct in one respect. Miller stated this in a speech last year, according to a video clip posted by WCIA-TV. She later apologized after Illinois Democrats demanded her resignation.

Some far-right groups have promoted the "great replacement theory," a racist ideology that asserts that white people and their power are being "replaced" by people of color. Both immigration and demographic trends, notably white birth rates, are blamed by proponents.

During the event, Trump celebrated the Supreme Court's Friday decision to end the constitutional right to abortion. The three conservative justices that he appointed voted unanimously in favor.

He stated that he would nominate justices opposed to abortion rights in 2016.

"Yesterday, the court delivered a victory for the Constitution, a victory for the rule of law, and most importantly, a victory for life," he told the crowd, which responded with chants of "Thank you, Trump!"

Trump endorsed Republican Darren Bailey, competing for the party's nomination for governor, at the rally.
