Sunday, however, Moreno went scorched-earth against Miller on social media.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs a father and husband, I can tell you the last two years have been pure hell for my wife Bridget, our daughter Emily, me, and our entire family in the aftermath of Emily\u2019s divorce,\u201d <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/berniemoreno\/status\/2083936589424582942?s=20\">Moreno wrote<\/a>, continuing:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>It has been horrific to watch this play out in full public view, all while knowing an innocent two-year-old girl is caught in the middle. Our priority has always been protecting our daughter and our granddaughter. Out of concern for the safety of my family, I hoped to keep this matter private but Max Miller\u2019s increasingly erratic and dangerous behavior has made that impossible.<\/p>\n<p>As he has admitted privately, Max Miller needs serious psychological help. He is a danger to my daughter, and I hold my breath every minute he has custody of my granddaughter.<\/p>\n<p>If there are any basic standards of character required to hold elected office, Max Miller fails them. He should not serve in the House of Representatives. I believe Max Miller needs to seek professional help to end the clear pattern of abuse he has left in his wake. I believe he should not be free to continue endangering others until he does.<\/p>\n<p>I ran for office because I wanted to make a difference for the country that gave me every opportunity to succeed, and to leave this nation better for my children and grandchildren. That sacrifice has been especially hard on my wife Bridget, whose big heart and steady support have never wavered. I owe it to her, to Emily, and to my granddaughter to speak the truth now.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Moreno\u2019s post came after <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/MaxMillerOH\/status\/2083923492676706663\">Miller posted a \u201cspecial announcement\u201d livestream<\/a> to his own X account, where he blamed the \u201cleft-wing media\u201d for skewing the truth.<\/p>\n<p>Miller denied ever abusing his two-year-old child, and claimed that his ex-wife had \u201csignificant mental health challenges.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In addition, Miller said, \u201cI categorically deny abusing my former wife.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Emily Moreno has accused Miller of having \u201cscalded 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\u2019s collarbone and bruised her shoulder,\u201d according to a <em>New York Times<\/em> report.<\/p>\n<p>Miller claimed the \u201cscalding water\u201d incident was merely \u201chorseplay in our kitchen,\u201d and claimed the \u201cgun\u201d incident \u201cnever happened.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Miller ended his live stream by stating, \u201cI\u2019m not getting out of this race.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u2014<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>New: The Mediaite One-Sheet &#8220;Newsletter of Newsletters&#8221;<\/strong><br \/>Your daily summary and analysis of what the many, many media newsletters are saying and reporting. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mediaite.com\/subscribe\">Subscribe now!<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<p><script type=\"text\/javascript\">\n!function(f,b,e,v,n,t,s){if(f.fbq)return;n=f.fbq=function(){n.callMethod?\nn.callMethod.apply(n,arguments):n.queue.push(arguments)};if(!f._fbq)f._fbq=n;\nn.push=n;n.loaded=!0;n.version='2.0';n.queue=[];t=b.createElement(e);t.async=!0;\nt.src=v;s=b.getElementsByTagName(e)[0];s.parentNode.insertBefore(t,s)}(window,\ndocument,'script','https:\/\/connect.facebook.net\/en_US\/fbevents.js');\n<\/script><br \/>\n<br \/><script async=\"async\" data-cfasync=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/pl30214220.effectivecpmnetwork.com\/9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\/invoke.js\"><\/script>\r\n<div id=\"container-9ab3d4df8a7e1a6171e16ddbf732cc19\"><\/div>\r\n<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Associated Press Sen.
