Vice President Mike Pence hired a new press secretary last week. But it wasn’t Katie Waldman’s career move that had leftists on Twitter — and beyond — talking.
Waldman is reportedly dating White House senior policy adviser Stephen Miller, a relationship that has earned the Florida native her fair share of mockery and scorn on social media, according to The Washington Examiner.
“And now we pray for her”
It was Washington Post reporter Nick Miroff who first pointed out: “Waldman is dating Stephen Miller.” And it didn’t take long for a number of “blue check” journalists and liberal activists to pile on.
Some jokingly offered up their “thoughts and prayers” for the unlucky woman dating Miller, while others expressed “pity” for her.
Stephen Miller is trending because we learned someone is dating him.
And now we pray for her.

Actress Bette Midler went so far as to compare Miller to a vampire amid the news, while CNN’s Ana Navarro-Cardenas expressed shock that Miller could even get a real girlfriend.
In an attempt to distract us from the very serious whistle blower claims, the Trump Administration sent Rudy out to act completely bonkers on national tv, and also told us Stephen Miller is dating someone — not an inflatable.
We need to stay focused, America. Focus! https://t.co/je7jL06TeC

Of course, there were others who assured their leftist comrades that Waldman isn’t deserving of their pity. Democratic strategist Atima Omara attempted to link Pence’s new press secretary to the alleged practice of “caging children” at the U.S.–Mexico border, while liberal writer Linda Childers warned leftists to think “before you pity her.”
So Stephen Miller finally found a girl who likes to play, “It puts the lotion on its skin or else it gets the hose again.”
And before you pity her, she describes asylum seekers as “a violent mob of migrants,” and just accepted a job working for Pence. 🤦🏼♀️ pic.twitter.com/aYUBnZ4xe1

The left’s new punching bag
According to the Examiner, Miller has been widely disliked by the liberal establishment for his tough stance on illegal immigration — not to mention the fact that he is unafraid to push back against the media’s dishonest narratives.
As for Waldman, aside from catching flak over her dating life, the VP’s new staffer has faced criticism for controversial comments she has made about immigration. Prior to being hired as Pence’s press secretary, Waldman served in the Trump administration as the deputy press secretary for the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).
She has also served with the National Republican Senatorial Committee and with some Republican legislators, such as Arizona Sen. Martha McSally.
But you won’t see leftists on Twitter mentioning Waldman’s impressive resume. To them, she’s just another White House punching bag.
