He was not very fond of rebbes
That is complete hogwash and the opposite of the truth. The Satmar Rebbe labeled Rav Miller as “not from this dor but rather from a previous generation.�
And this is a quote from Rav Miller’s sefer “Loving His People” 2, #528 1:06:
“If we study two kehillas Satmar and Lubavitch. We see how beautiful are these two kehillas. Satmar is a beautiful kehilla. I had personal contact many years with Satmar. I even spoke to the Satmar Rav, the old one, zichron l’bracha. The new one I knew well, very well. But the old one I met personally once at midnight in his home. I knew many of them personally. Satmar brought a new dimension to America.
“There’s another beautiful kehilla called Lubavitch. I know them personally too. A Lubavitcher was once my rebbe when I was a boy. I learned an entire mesechta kesubos with him. For nothing. He taught me free. And so I have a love for both of these kehillas.
“Vehitzidku es ha tzadick. They are two kehillas of tzadickim. You must know that. When I say Satmar I mean all of the Satmar kehillas. All of them. I don’t mean each person is a tzadick gamur. But in general, there’s no question that their way of life is tznius. Lubavitch their way of life is tznius. Satmar they are devoted to avodas hashem. They go all out to serve Hashem. Lubavitch, all out to serve Hashem. No question about that.”
