Domestic-Abuse Allegations and Political Tensions in the Ohio House Race Ohio Representative Max Miller faces multiple allegations of domestic violence, including accusations from two women that he scalded them with hot water, held a gun to their heads, and threw them against walls. Miller has denied these claims, though his ex-partner, Emily Moreno, has accused him of causing her daughter a collarbone injury, which he also denies. The dispute has escalated from a private family matter into a public political controversy, with Republicans divided over how to address the allegations. Bernie Moreno, Emily’s father and an Ohio senator, has publicly criticized Miller, calling for his removal from Congress. He described the past two years as “pure hell” for his family, stating that Miller poses a danger to his daughter and granddaughter. Moreno argued that Miller requires “serious psychological help” and that the family’s legal battles have been deeply traumatic. His comments followed a live stream where Miller refused to drop out of his House race, insisting he acted with “dignity” for his daughter’s sake while publicly attacking Moreno’s wife. The Republican Party has shown reluctance to condemn Miller, despite its own history of high-profile misconduct allegations. Former President Donald Trump has downplayed the accusations, calling Miller “a good person” and urging the matter to be resolved within the family. However, some lawmakers have privately expressed concerns about Miller’s suitability for office. A person familiar with Trump’s concerns noted that even if the president pressured Miller to step down, the young House member might not comply. Miller’s allegations are not new. During high school, he faced charges of assault, disorderly conduct, and resisting arrest.#stephanie_grisham #max_miller #emily_moreno #bernie_moreno #mother_jones
