Social media users had criticized the images, with some writing comments like "Stephen Miller uses his pregnant wife as a human shield" and "I can't get over Stephen Miller using his pregnant wife Katie as a shield during the WHCD incident."
Katie Miller clarified that her husband "was behind me and protecting me" during the evacuation. She wanted to make clear that despite how the photos looked, Stephen Miller was not hiding behind her but rather positioning himself to guard his family during the security incident.
