Max Miller is unrepentant. The Republican congressman from Ohio demands that we believe him, not his ex-wife Emily Moreno. He did not throw boiling water at her in order to injure her; it was “horseplay” that she enjoyed. He did not hold a gun to her head. He did not fracture his 2-year-old daughter’s collarbone or withhold her favorite bunny toy while she cried. All the other women are lying too. He did not assault Stephanie Grisham, the former White House press secretary, by pushing her against a wall and slapping her in the face, and he never threw a dog toy at her. He did not push a girl out of his room and down the stairs while he was in high school.
Not only has the congressman denied Moreno’s claims, detailed in police reports and court records, and past allegations, but he has made it clear he’s not going to drop out of his race for reelection because the president of the United States has his back. As Miller declared in a video on X, “I’ll win in November.”
