<p>CHICAGO — Democratic county leaders in Illinois want an investigation of Republican state Rep. Chris Miller after he displayed a decal of an anti-government militia movement on his pickup truck parked at the U.S. Capitol during the deadly insurrection in January. </p>
<p>The Illinois Democratic County Chairs’ Association asked for a state investigation Friday after photos of Miller’s truck with a sticker for the Three Percenters surfaced on social media. </p>
<p>Miller, a cattle farmer first elected in 2018, denied involvement with the group. He was in Washington, D.C., for former President Donald Trump’s speech on Jan. 6. A day earlier, Miller’s wife, freshman U.S. Rep. Mary Miller delivered <a href="https://apnews.com/article/joe-biden-electoral-college-illinois-f704515d1b1497ab7ae5d2a798920ade"> a speech quoting Adolf Hitler that drew wide outrage.</a></p>
<p>“My son received the sticker that was on my truck from a family friend who said that it represented patriotism and love of country,” Miller, of Oakland, said in a statement. “I have since removed the sticker.”</p>
<p>Still, Kristina Zahorik, leader of the county chairs, submitted a request to the Office of the Legislative Inspector General to investigate Miller’s actions during the Jan. 6 insurrection. </p>
<p>“Miller’s attendance at the rally that turned into a mob and insurrection of our nation’s Capitol is troubling, and to date many unanswered questions remain about his subsequent actions and whereabouts that day,” Zahorik said.</p>
<p>Republican U.S. Rep. Adam Kinzinger of Illinois, who was <a href="https://apnews.com/article/donald-trump-politics-impeachments-adam-kinzinger-political-action-committees-3e221ef16b7324026a280729da68ee0c">among 10 GOP House members</a> to vote to impeach Trump, said he supported looking further at the matter.</p>
<p>"Rep. Miller put a militia sticker on his car and is suspected to have been at the insurrection,” Kinzinger wrote on Twitter. “Our party needs to handle this and I support further investigation.”</p>
