Max Miller Rally Cancelled Over ‘Threats’ Amid Abuse Allegations And Calls For His Resignation

At least six Republican senators have called for Rep. Max Miller, R-Ohio, to resign from Congress.

Max Miller Rally Cancelled Over ‘Threats’ Amid Abuse Allegations And Calls For His Resignation

Ohio Republican group Strongsville GOP recently announced the cancellation of a rally scheduled for August 10, featuring embattled Rep. Max Miller and Rep. Anna Paulina Luna, due to an overwhelming number of threats received. The decision to cancel the event was primarily driven by security concerns, although the group attributed the threat to Miller's political opponents rather than directly criticizing him.

The rally was intended to support President Donald Trump’s voter ID law, the SAVE America Act. The cancellation comes amid a tumultuous week for Miller, who is currently embroiled in a custody battle with his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, and her family. His ex-father-in-law, Senator Bernie Moreno, led calls for Miller's resignation over allegations of abuse towards his ex-wife, which Miller vehemently denied in a 20-minute video posted on X (formerly Twitter).

The controversy escalated when Bernie Moreno broke his silence on the allegations, asserting that Miller poses a danger to his daughter and granddaughter and calling for his psychological help. Amid the escalating tensions, at least six Republican senators urged Miller to resign, and the House Ethics Committee launched an investigation into the matter.

Despite the intense scrutiny, Miller remains defiant and has vowed to loan his campaign $1 million in an effort to secure re-election to his Cleveland-area district for a third term.
