The 15th District Republican, who was sworn in last weekend, was speaking to a woman's group outside of the US Capitol on Tuesday. A portion of her remarks were that "Hitler got one thing right, whoever controls the youth controls the future."

Miller Friday released a statement saying in part "I sincerely apologize for any harm my words caused and regret using a reference to one of the most evil dictators in history."

A number of statewide and national Democrats have called on Miller to resign her seat, including Governor Pritzer and US Senator Tammy Duckworth. Several Republican leaders asked Miller to apologize.
