GOP Sen. Moreno says ex-son-in-law Max Miller shouldn't serve in House, needs 'serious psychological help'
Miller has denied the allegations made against him by his ex-wife Emily Moreno, daughter of Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno.
Republican Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno has called for Rep. Max Miller to resign from his House seat and seek professional help following allegations of domestic abuse. His ex-daughter-in-law, Emily Moreno, accused Miller of assault during their marriage, including throwing hot water on her and holding a gun to her head. Miller denies the allegations and claims his ex-wife has mental health issues.
The senator argues that Miller's history of violence disqualifies him from holding public office and that he needs serious psychological assistance. Miller, running for reelection in a Republican stronghold, maintains that the allegations are false and that his ex-wife suffers from mental health challenges. Democrats contest Miller's seat in the upcoming midterms, potentially altering the House and Senate majority.
Miller's situation has drawn attention to the August 5 deadline for him to withdraw from the race to avoid naming a replacement.
