    David Griffith was a registered Republican for years.

    But on Sunday evening, he watched the Ohio congressman Max Miller stumble through an 18-minute statement in which the lawmaker attempted to defend himself against allegations of domestic abuse against his ex-wife and infant child.

    What Griffith saw and heard, he said, was a person that bore no resemblance to the Republican party he once supported.

    How old is Mr. Griffith, that this is not the Republican Party he’s known his entire life?

    I didn’t want to depress people on a Monday, but you can decide on whether to read it or not. Let’s just say the shitty Republican wouldn’t be a character witness for another shitty Republican:

    Rep. Max Miller Has a History of Withholding His Daughter’s Blue Bunny

    “Max, Can REDACTED please have her bunny back? She’s had it since birth, sleeps with it every night, carries it with her around the house…Please don’t punish REDACTED if you’re upset with me,” Emily Moreno once wrote in an email to her ex-husband, Republican Rep. Max Miller. Miller, the Ohio lawmaker who has recently been fighting for his political life over allegations that he physically assaulted Moreno and other women, posted screenshots on X last night that he said prove he didn’t withhold their toddler’s stuffed animal during an August custody exchange. Earlier this week, Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-Ohio), Emily’s father, described the alleged incident to congressional reporters.

    “Max would not hand over the little blue bunny,” the senator said when reporters in the Capitol asked about his ex-son-in-law. “Literally held it hostage for 48 hours. This girl is crying at night because she can’t sleep without her little blue bunny. And his answer is, ‘I’m just not going to give it to you.’ So finally, yesterday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, yesterday, he lets the little blue bunny go. This is the level of total and complete depravity.” Miller, in turn, told Bernie Moreno to “please stop the lies.”
