CHICAGO (AP) — Democratic county leaders are seeking an investigation of a Republican legislator from Illinois after he displayed a decal of an anti-government militia movement on his pickup truck parked at the U.S. Capitol during January’s deadly insurrection.
The Illinois Democratic County Chairs’ Association asked for the state investigation of state Representative Chris Miller on Friday after photos surfaced of his truck with a sticker for the Three Percenters.
Miller, a cattle farmer in Oakland in East-Central Illinois, denied involvement with the group.
He was in Washington D.C. on Jan. 6. A day earlier his wife, freshman U.S. Representative Mary Miller, gave a speech quoting Adolf Hitler raising some calls for her resignation.
State Representative Chris Miller’s actions have drawn national coverage. Here’s a report from ABC.
