Made it

Hi, I have a question about "made it" in this sentence.


-------------

Then-White House spokeswoman Kayleigh McEnany broke down in tears in May on Christian television talking about the death of a man she said made it so people didn’t feel they had to “check their brain at the door as a Christian.”

------------


I can't put this "made it" to any place in grammar structure.


Can someone help me with this?


Thank you!!

Right. I can't even find it in the Cambridge Advanced Learner's Dictionary. It's more like "make it so that X". It means something like "contrive (make) a state of affairs (it) in order (so ) that X occurs". I think you can call that a dummy "it".
