Ohio GOP Sen. Bernie Moreno on Sunday said his former son-in-law, Republican Rep. Max Miller, “should not serve” in Congress because of abuse allegations levied by Moreno’s daughter against Miller.

“As he has admitted privately, Max Miller needs serious psychological help,” Moreno said on X. “He is a danger to my daughter, and I hold my breath every minute he has custody of my granddaughter.”

“He should not serve in the House of Representatives,” Moreno said.

Moreno’s statement came shortly after Miller appeared on a livestream in which he denied allegations of abuse and said he’s staying in his race. “I’m not getting out of this race, and I’m winning in November,” Miller said.

    As horrible as the former son-in-law is as a human being, I believe he’s right to attack Senator Moreno:

    Responding to his former father-in-law’s statement, Miller said on X: “You know this isn’t true and the only reason you are speaking out now is to hide from your own media circus.”

    Sen. Moreno only spoke up yesterday - after Rep. Miller announced he was staying despite the allegations.

    Yet Sen. Moreno’s stand days ago was not to say anything publicly against Rep. Miller over the fact that the latter purportedly broke his young daughter’s collarbone and threw scalding hot water on his ex-wife.

    It took Sen. Moreno two weeks to speak up for his daughter:

    As far as I’m concerned, both men are horrible.

    I can’t help but wonder what Emily Moreno (mother, ex-wife) must think of her father, but that’s none of my business. Regardless, I’m really sorry for what she and the young child had to go through.

    If you were wondering why a republican called another republican out, it’s because he abused his daughter.
