Miller is known for his controversial right-wing and anti-immigration views. He was one of the speakers at Trump's largest campaign rally this year, at Madison Square Garden in New York. The 39-year-old politician promised in New York that during Trump's second presidency, “America will be for Americans and only for Americans.”
