Democrats in the Illinois House voted Thursday to approve a resolution condemning Republican state Rep. Chris Miller for his role in the Jan. 6 rally in Washington that lead to an insurrection at the U.S. Capitol by a mob of Donald Trump supporters. The resolution, approved on a 57-36 party-line vote, didn’t receive support from a majority of the 118-member chamber and holds no weight of law. The move amounts to a public rebuke of Miller, a second-term conservative legislator from Oakland in southern Illinois and the husband of freshman U.S. Rep. Mary Miller, by the supermajority Democrats.
