Republicans Call for Max Miller To Quit As Deadline Looms
Moreno called for his ex-son-in-law's resignation following abuse allegations that Miller has strongly denied.
Republican lawmakers have voiced their concerns and called for Representative Max Miller to step down from his role in the House, as a ballot deadline approaches in Ohio. Bernie Moreno, who is the father of Emily Moreno, Emily's ex-wife, urged Miller to quit, accusing him of displaying "increasingly erratic and dangerous behavior."
Miller, who is a two-term congressman and former White House aide under President Donald Trump, has denied all allegations of abuse or wrongdoing. He has until Wednesday to withdraw from the ballot, allowing Republicans to hold a rapid replacement primary for his Cleveland-area House seat.
Miller has been at the center of a legal dispute with his ex-wife, Emily. He has repeatedly denied the allegations of abuse and violence against her and their young daughter. Miller claims that Moreno is speaking out for political reasons and that the allegations are an attempt to "hide from your own media circus." In response to Moreno's call for Miller to quit, Miller vowed to remain in his reelection campaign and denounced the accusations as false, emphasizing that no court or agency had substantiated any claim of abuse.
