Senator Bernie Moreno and Congressman Max Miller traded blows on social media Sunday, with the former Ohio Republican accusing the latter of abusing his daughter, allegations the congressman denies.<\/p>\n

For weeks, Miller has been dogged with rumors that he was abusive towards his ex-wife, Emily, Moreno\u2019s daughter. On Saturday, Miller announced on X that he would make a public statement Sunday morning, which took the form of a livestream in which he denied the accusations against him, including a claim that he had thrown hot water on Emily Moreno. Miller dismissed the incident as \u201chorseplay,\u201d saying the water was not as hot as alleged. Miller also said that child welfare agencies had found accusations he had abused the couple\u2019s two-year-old daughter \u201cunsubstantiated.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m not getting out of this race, and I\u2019m winning in November,\u201d said Miller, who faces a tight re-election race in November.<\/p>\n

In response, Moreno said that he feared for his daughter and granddaughter when they were with Miller, and argued that the congressman\u2019s actions rendered him unfit for public office.<\/p>\n

\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 Moreno wrote in a lengthy statement on X. \u201cIt 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.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs 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,\u201d Moreno continued.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf 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,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

Miller responded by sharing a number of files he said would substantiate his claims. He also fired back at Moreno, saying \u201cIf my daughter said the same thing to me, I personally wouldn\u2019t wait two years before holding him accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cYou know this isn\u2019t true and the only reason you are speaking out now is to hide from your own media circus,\u201d Miller added. \u201cThis is all political.\u201d<\/p>\n

The family struggle has a political dimension, as both Moreno and Miller are strong allies of President Donald Trump. Trump endorsed Moreno in his 2024 Senate race, and Miller in his current re-election bid. The Times reports that some close to Trump are worried about Miller\u2019s decision to publicly attack Moreno, which they think could imperil his chances at winning in November. Republicans have until Wednesday to replace Miller on the ballot, should they so choose.<\/p>\n

Emily Moreno alleges that, during their marriage, Miller slammed her against the wall, held a gun to her head, and broke their daughter\u2019s collarbone. Emily Moreno has since filed a restraining order against Miller, according to the New York Times, which also reports that the senator\u2019s daughter is petitioning to end her shared parenting agreement with Miller. The case is expected to go to court in November.<\/p>\n

Miller responded in his own court filings by calling his ex-wife \u201cmentally ill,\u201d and claiming that she was the one putting their daughter at risk. He also took the argument public, telling Spectrum News that she \u201csadly isn\u2019t all there\u201d and claiming in court that she was actively engaged in a smear campaign against him.<\/p>\n

Telling the court that Moreno owned at least one firearm, Miller claimed that he feared for his own personal safety. He also asserted that their daughter\u2019s broken collarbone had been the result of Moreno\u2019s driving.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is shameful that Max Miller decided to go on a bizarre and lie-filled rant about his ex-wife to desperately try to save his political career,\u201d Emily Moreno\u2019s spokesman, Stefan Mychajliw, said in a statement Sunday. \u201cThere is a documented trove of evidence that Miller has a history of violent and dangerous behavior and no amount of victim shaming will change that.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is despicable and abhorrent that Miller lied on an unhinged and humiliating video for their daughter to watch one day,\u201d the statement went on. \u201cNo loving parent would have ever used their daughter as a PR pawn to save their own political career.\u201d<\/p>\n

The case is expected to go to court in November.Miller responded in his own court filings by calling his ex-wife \u201cmentally ill,\u201d and claiming that she was the one putting their daughter at risk. He also took the argument public, telling Spectrum News that she \u201csadly isn\u2019t all there\u201d and claiming in court that she was actively engaged in a smear campaign against him.Telling the court that Moreno owned at least one firearm, Miller claimed that he feared for his own personal safety. He also asserted that their daughter\u2019s broken collarbone had been the result of Moreno\u2019s driving.\u201cIt is shameful that Max Miller decided to go on a bizarre and lie-filled rant about his ex-wife to desperately try to save his political career,\u201d Emily Moreno\u2019s spokesman, Stefan Mychajliw, said in a statement Sunday. \u201cThere is a documented trove of evidence that Miller has a history of violent and dangerous behavior and no amount of victim shaming will change that.\u201d\u201cIt is despicable and abhorrent that Miller lied on an unhinged and humiliating video for their daughter to watch one day,\u201d the statement went on. \u201cNo loving parent would have ever used their daughter as a PR pawn to save their own political career.\u201d","og_url":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=1957","og_site_name":"Blue Route Journal","article_published_time":"2026-08-02T23:09:54+00:00","author":"admin","twitter_card":"summary_large_image","twitter_misc":{"Written by":"admin","Est. reading time":"4 minutes"},"schema":{"@context":"https:\/\/schema.org","@graph":[{"@type":"Article","@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=1957#article","isPartOf":{"@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=1957"},"author":{"name":"admin","@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/#\/schema\/person\/19da116f8d79cf8987781569801c6b7c"},"headline":"Bernie Moreno Accuses Max Miller Of Abusing His Daughter After Congressman Breaks Silence","datePublished":"2026-08-02T23:09:54+00:00","mainEntityOfPage":{"@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=1957"},"wordCount":862,"commentCount":0,"image":{"@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=1957#primaryimage"},"thumbnailUrl":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/56a716a88a6fcf58bee48cededa4f7c0.avif","articleSection":["News"],"inLanguage":"en-US","potentialAction":[{"@type":"CommentAction","name":"Comment","target":["https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=1957#respond"]}]},{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=1957","url":"https:\/\/blueroutejournal.com\/?p=1957","name":"Bernie Moreno Accuses Max Miller Of Abusing His Daughter After Congressman Breaks Silence -
