Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH) finally weighed in on whether Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) should remain on the ballot following his daughter accusing Miller of domestic violence. Emily Moreno made very public and disturbing allegations against Miller as part of their divorce proceedings earlier in the year.
NOTUS reporter Adora Brown reported on Friday that the Ohio senator told her, “I don’t know,” when asked if Miller is fit to stand for reelection. Miller is currently in a tight fight for reelection, and Ohio has become a key battleground for Democrats eyeing both the governorship and a U.S. Senate seat in the state.
“While we won’t dignify this baseless attacks by Democrats and their media allies, Senator Moreno will not speak on active litigation involving his family,” Reagan McCarthy, a spokesperson for Moreno, also told NOTUS in a statement.
Emily Moreno has accused Miller of having “scalded her chest and stomach by throwing hot water from a skillet at her body; held a gun to her head; pushed her against a wall and hit her head; and fractured their daughter’s collarbone and bruised her shoulder,” according to a recent New York Times report.
Miller has vehemently denied the allegations and filed a defamation suit against his ex-wife.
Miller attacked the Ohio senator in a social media post in May, however, dragging their family fight very much out into the public, writing, “It is unfortunate that @berniemoreno continues to fund and enable his daughter’s malicious campaign to ruin my life despite his knowledge of her mental health issues. Bernie, this must be distracting from your job. These antics harm your own grandchild. Anytime you want to put a stop to this, you can. ”
Former White House press secretary Stephanie Grisham, who dated Miller in 2019 and 2020 while they both worked for Trump, also accused Miller of domestic abuse, resulting in various lawsuits between the pair.
