Senator Moreno Calls for Resignation of Rep. Max Miller Amid Abuse Allegations

Allegations Against Max Miller

Senator Bernie Moreno from Ohio publicly called for Rep. Max Miller, also from Ohio, to resign from Congress and seek psychological help. This demand followed Miller’s streaming denial of allegations on platform X, where Moreno criticized Miller’s character.

Moreno’s rebuke focuses on allegations from his daughter, Emily Moreno. She accused her former husband, Miller, of serious domestic abuse, including threats and physical harm. A Democratic challenger added that Miller should not hold office given these accusations.

Miller’s Denials

Max Miller denied these charges during a livestream, asserting no legal authorities had validated any abuse claims. He stated that investigations regarding his daughter were resolved without findings. Allegations emerged amidst their custody battle, which Miller claims are being used against him.

Miller rejected accusations related to a gun threat and his daughter’s collarbone injury. He also refuted claims regarding boiling water, framing such instances as horseplay. Miller vowed to remain in his political race, amid pressure within the Republican Party to replace him.

Emily Moreno’s Response

Emily Moreno’s spokesperson criticized Miller’s denial, pointing to existing evidence of his violent behavior. They condemned Miller’s portrayal on his livestream, emphasizing that legal consequences might follow.

Moreno’s intervention amplifies scrutiny on Miller with replacements considered before an upcoming ballot deadline. The controversy presents a possible opportunity for Democrats in Ohio’s 7th District.
