Bernie Moreno, a Republican senator from Ohio, has publicly called for the resignation of Rep. Max Miller, who is accused of abusing his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, and their 2-year-old daughter. Moreno stated that the past two years have been difficult for his family due to ongoing custody disputes. In a social media post, he expressed concern for the safety of his family and claimed that Miller's behavior is erratic and dangerous. Moreno emphasized that Miller should seek professional help and should not continue to hold office while facing these allegations.
Miller, who is running for re-election, denied the allegations during a livestream, asserting that he has never abused his daughter and accusing Emily Moreno of lying. He stated that he would not withdraw from the congressional race, despite the accusations against him. The situation has drawn significant public attention, with Moreno's post receiving nearly one million views shortly after it was published. Miller has been endorsed by former President Donald Trump, who praised him as a strong representative for Ohio.
