Woke radio host Stephanie Miller is facing widespread ridicule after publicly admitting that she literally kissed the shoes of Democratic Rep. Jasmine Crockett (D-Texas) — a moment she described online as an act of admiration, but one critics called “deranged” political idolatry.
“Why, yes I DID kiss the sneakers of @JasmineForUS and I DO worship the ground she walks on! And she was LOVELY about it!” Miller wrote in a post on X, adding laughing emojis to punctuate what she framed as a lighthearted gesture.
Crockett, who has emerged as one of the Democratic Party’s most combative voices against President Donald Trump and congressional Republicans, did not comment on the post.
But the display underscored how some left-wing activists and media figures have begun elevating Crockett as a rising figure on the party’s left flank — one reportedly eyeing a potential Senate run.
Miller, a longtime liberal commentator known for her loyalty to Democratic leaders such as Nancy Pelosi, has previously mocked Trump supporters for “cult-like devotion.”
Her latest stunt drew accusations of hypocrisy from conservatives, who noted that Miller had once devoted entire radio segments to deriding “Trump worship” among Republican voters.
