A growing number of Democrats called Thursday for the resignation of US Rep. Mary Miller of Illinois, a newly sworn-in Republican who quoted Adolf Hitler at a rally outside the US Capitol this week.
Sen. Tammy Duckworth, US Reps. Jan Schakowsky and Marie Newman, all Illinois Democrats, along with a contingent of state legislators circulating a petition, demanded Miller step down immediately.

Miller spoke Tuesday at a "Save the Republic Rally" hosted by conservative group, "Moms for America." The rally took place a day before violent supporters of President Donald Trump stormed the Capitol. Miller was among those who voted to overturn election results for President-elect Joe Biden. At the rally, Miller was discussing the need to appeal to young people and said: "Hitler was right on one thing. He said, 'Whoever has the youth has the future.'"
