Senator Urges Rep. Max Miller to Resign Amid Abuse Allegations

Sen. Bernie Moreno, R-Ohio, called for Rep. Max Miller, R-Ohio, to resign from Congress due to allegations of abuse. Moreno emphasized the need for Miller to seek psychological help, citing concerns about his character.

Moreno expressed these views in response to Miller’s denial of accusations via a livestream. Moreno, in a public statement, stressed the danger he believes Miller poses to his daughter and granddaughter.

Miller’s former spouse, Emily Moreno, accused him of domestic violence, including threats involving a firearm and physical harm to their daughter. Miller denies these claims, stating they have not been proven in court.

The family ordeal has been challenging, according to Moreno. He describes the divorce aftermath as difficult for his entire family, emphasizing the ongoing public nature of the situation.

Emily Moreno’s spokesperson criticized Miller’s response, describing it as an attempt to protect his political career. They accuse him of victim shaming and deny his accusations of using their daughter in the custody battle.

Miller maintained his innocence, arguing the accusations surfaced amid custody disputes. He claims prior investigations closed without findings against him. Miller plans to continue his campaign, despite growing pressure and scrutiny from within his party.

This controversy presents potential challenges for the Republican Party as the deadline for replacing candidates on the ballot looms.
