Congress Considers Kicking Out Rep. Miller But Really Just Wants November Drama
KEY POINTS
- •House Democrats are tentatively discussing whether to force a vote to expel Rep. Max Miller amid abuse allegations he denies.
- •Senator Bernie Moreno, Miller’s ex-father-in-law, publicly declared him a danger to his granddaughter shortly after Miller’s denial.
- •Democrats emphasize due process but focus on unseating Miller in November, while Republicans caution restraint during the ongoing Ethics Committee review.
House Democrats are nervously whispering about kicking out Rep. Max Miller (R-Ohio) over domestic abuse allegations he denies, while he proudly refuses to drop his re-election bid. His ex-father-in-law, Senator Bernie Moreno, casually called him 'a danger' and admitted holding his breath over custody like it's an Olympic sport. Meanwhile, leading Democrats from the Women’s Caucus to Pramila Jayapal want decorum, or at least some robust Ethics Committee prodding, with phrases like 'violent conduct' and 'decency' flying around like political confetti. Republicans including Speaker Mike Johnson just want due process, the Ethics Committee process, the legal eagle process — basically 'chill, it’s still summer recess.' And Trump’s input? Oh, 'a good person' with a family drama fit for a reality show. Previous political quitters Swalwell, Gonzales, and Cherfilus-McCormick set the tap dance for scandal exits, but Miller’s just over here playing the marathon runner in a sprint race to November.
