"Controversies
As spokesperson for the State Department, Miller has repeatedly been accused or rebuked by journalists for laughing about inappropriate topics while communicating the U.S. government's public policy positions during the Israel–Hamas war. At one press conference on the matter, Miller stated the U.S. "doesn't dictate to any country what it must do", a journalist interjected "Unless you invade them." Miller's laughter prompted Al Jazeera to run the following headline: "US official laughs at question on invading other countries".[7] While answering questions pertaining to the Gaza death toll, Miller was accused by a man, understood to be journalist Sam Husseini, of "smirking". Miller replied "Absolutely not" and that he wouldn't "entertain" the accusation.[8] Several months after the "smirking" incident, Miller was rebuked by Matt Lee of the Associated Press, for laughing while answering a question about U.S. provided aid not reaching Gaza.[9][10] The joking by Miller was further criticized by author Mark O'Connell in a piece for The Irish Times devoted to Miller's conduct; O'Connell attributed Miller's laughter to, "his apparent disregard for the humanity of the people forced to live, and to die, amid the savagery of Israel's assault."[11]

![textshot of Wikipedia page about Matthew Miller:
"In the early stages of the 2024 Israeli invasion of Lebanon, Miller stated that a U.S. citizen from Michigan who was killed in an Israeli airstrike, Kamel Ahmad Jawad, was not a U.S. citizen but instead a legal permanent resident.[15] This prompted criticism from the Council on American–Islamic Relations, and a correction from the State Department, who confirmed Jawad's U.S. citizenship.[16]
Following an absence of several weeks at the end of 2024, Miller held his final press briefing on January 15th 2025. During the farewell address, journalist Shaun Tandon of Agence France-Presse made mention of how Miller had "received lots of criticism for some of your responses". Miller sarcastically replied, "I have?" while letting out a chuckle.[17] The following day, Miller attended Secretary of State Blinken's farewell address and facilitated the question and answer segment. During the opening remarks, Miller was referenced complimentary by Blinken, and disparagingly by members of the press, one of whom Miller personally escorted out out the room; reporter Max Blumenthal was led out for disrupting Blinken's comments prior to accepting questions, and Sam Husseini was forcibly removed after asking Blinken about Palestine.[18] Blumenthal invoked the smirking incident of 2024 to Miller, and Husseini declared as police forced him from his seat, "Matt Miller has explicitly told me he will not answer my questions."[19][20]"](https://files.mastodon.social/media_attachments/files/113/847/434/594/855/339/original/f5b7407376a582de.png "textshot of Wikipedia page about Matthew Miller:
