These 5 Republican Senators Urge Max Miller To Resign—As Ohio’s Husted Joins Ranks
Miller has said repeatedly this week, as the scandal has spiraled, that he has no intention of stepping down.
Five Republican senators have urged Rep. Max Miller to resign from Congress following allegations of abuse made by his ex-wife, Emily Moreno. Ohio Senator John Husted, who is also Bernie Moreno's colleague, called for Miller to "step aside as a candidate and resign from Congress." Husted stated that Miller should consider the well-being of his daughter, Emily Moreno's granddaughter, who is currently involved in a custody battle with her mother.
Montana Senator Tim Sheehy also joined the calls, describing Miller as a "degenerate sociopath" in response to reports that he withheld his daughter's stuffed bunny during a recent custody exchange. Bernie Moreno, Emily's father, further substantiated the allegations, claiming that Miller held their granddaughter's beloved toy "hostage" for 48 hours and refused to return it to her.
Miller denied these claims, releasing a 20-minute video on Sunday in which he denied the accusations, including claims of physically abusing his daughter and throwing scalding water on his ex-wife. Democratic campaign ads have seized on the allegations, while Republicans have largely backed Bernie Moreno's call for Miller's resignation.
At least one investigation into the allegations has been launched, and the deadline for local Republicans to replace Miller on the ballot is approaching.
