Sen. Bernie Moreno Calls Rep. Max Miller Unfit for Office Amid Domestic Abuse Allegations
Republican Senator-elect Bernie Moreno of Ohio has publicly stated that his former son-in-law, Representative Max Miller (R-Ohio), should not serve in the House and needs 'serious psychological help.' The remarks follow allegations from Moreno's daughter, Emily, who claims Miller subjected her to domestic abuse during their marriage. Miller denies all accusations and is currently running for reelection in a district considered safe for Republicans. The situation has intensified as Miller faces mounting pressure amid calls for him to step down or be replaced before the August 5 deadline for withdrawal. His Democratic challenger, Brian Poindexter, has criticized Miller's alleged actions, saying no one with such accusations should hold public office. The scandal could impact Republican chances in a district previously seen as secure. Moreno’s statement marks his first major response to recent revelations about the allegations against Miller and highlights internal GOP tensions over character standards for elected officials.
