Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio) pressed for his fellow Ohio Republican and former son-in-law, Rep. Max Miller, to resign in the wake of abuse allegations involving Moreno’s daughter and granddaughter, adding that he thinks the GOP representative needs “serious psychological help.”
“If there are any basic standards of character required to hold elected office, Max Miller fails them. He should not serve in the House of Representatives,” Moreno said in a post on the social platform X on Sunday morning.
“I believe Max Miller needs to seek professional help to end the clear pattern of abuse he has left in his wake. I believe he should not be free to continue endangering others until he does,” he added.
On Friday, Moreno sidestepped a question on whether Miller should stay on the ballot after the lawmaker was alleged to have abused his ex-wife Emily Moreno, the senator’s daughter. When asked by NOTUS if Miller should go forward with his reelection bid, Moreno gave a short reply and declined to elaborate.
“I don’t know,” he said, per NOTUS.
Political pressure has increased on Miller after Emily Moreno alleged in court filings that her ex-husband tossed hot water on her, held a gun to her head and broke their daughter’s collarbone. Miller has denied the claims and sued Emily Moreno for defamation.
“Out of concern for the safety of my family, I hoped to keep this matter private but Max Miller’s increasingly erratic and dangerous behavior has made that impossible,” Moreno said in his Sunday X post.
“As he has admitted privately, Max Miller needs serious psychological help. He is a danger to my daughter, and I hold my breath every minute he has custody of my granddaughter.”
Miller shot back at Moreno in his own post on X, saying “if my daughter said the same thing to me, I personally wouldn’t wait two years before holding him accountable.”
“You know this isn’t true and the only reason you are speaking out now is to hide from your own media circus. This is all political,” he added.
In a livestream Sunday, Miller also stated that he’d “been portrayed as an abusive husband, an abusive father and a violent man.”
“Those allegations have damaged my reputation, caused enormous pain to my family and most importantly, it’s affected our daughter,” Miller added.
You’re not the only one here who doesn’t know the truth.
Neither do I and neither does anyone reading this.
The only reason the article was worth our attention was that the story has an impact on a tight Congressional race.
If you can answer the questions:
Does a US senator’s accusation that his ex-son-in-law was physically abusive to his daughter and granddaughter have any impact on how you vote? Would it impact a significant number of voters?
with a “no” to each, then Moore shouldn’t drop out.
Pretty boy. Those things count.
I asked a valid question that should always be asked in the USA ...faggot ...
Agree, Democrats are blowing my some seats like the Tucson seat in AZ and the PA seat in Lehigh Valley. FDA Canidates. Republican spending will have a field day with them.
The English language is no walk in the park.
I encourage you to continue your struggle with it.
“Does a US senator’s accusation that his ex-son-in-law was physically abusive to his daughter and granddaughter have any impact on how you vote? Would it impact a significant number of voters?”
it makes me question why Moreno brought it up. Moreno is adding to the issue to make the seat flip or force the son in law to be tried quickly by public opinion and maybe to step down before anything is really known.
Any one could say an accusation about Moreno or any other seat holder to force them out or cause them trouble and it may or may not be true.
Voters float in the breeze, because most choose to be uneducated about who is in office or running except by whatever the MSM tells them to believe. Voters don’t do their own homework. I don’t live in OH.
The man who can be neither bribed nor blackmailed is of no use to the Deep State.
Thx........they take take take take take.....it never ends.
Max Miller, a Jew, was offended that a writer said “Jesus was the only way to salvation” or something close to that....anyhoo, he was so offended he got the lady fired!
Max Miller, a Jew, (and apparently a wife and child beater)
was offended by a writer saying “Jesus was the only way to salvation” ....
Miller was so “offended” he got the lady fired!
Most likely there are hospital and police documents that would back up the allegations. I doubt if Moreno would go out on this limb with no confirmation. But IDK...
that is evidence that needs to be disclosed in court, not the press ... presumed innocent until proven guilty ...
