Congressman Refuses to Quit, Claims Blue Bunny Toy Hostage Drama Isn’t Abuse

KEY POINTS

  • Ohio Rep. Max Miller faces allegations of abuse from his ex-wife Emily Moreno involving their 2-year-old daughter.
  • Miller refuses to resign, fearing it would be tantamount to admitting guilt, while facing calls to quit from Ohio senators.
  • The dispute escalates into a public feud over a Blue Bunny stuffed animal held ‘hostage,’ with an August 10 deadline looming.

Ohio Rep. Max Miller is channeling his inner Trump understudy by refusing to quit amidst explosive abuse allegations involving his ex-wife Emily Moreno and their 2-year-old daughter’s Blue Bunny stuffed animal—yes, that’s the hotspot of political intrigue. With Miller threatening to keep his bully pulpit because quitting equals 'admitting' he beat his family (which he vehemently denies), even House Speaker Mike Johnson admits the allegations are 'serious' but insists on waiting for the Ethics Committee marathon. Adding a private family-Republican civil war, Emily's dad, conservative Ohio senator Bernie Moreno (and apparently Blue Bunny’s next rival for custody), publicly demands Miller quit by August 10 or face party fallout.
