BREAKING: SHAME ON HIM! Republican Senator Moreno REFUSES to condemn his fellow Republican who BEAT HIS DAUGHTER and broke his granddaughter's collarbone!
Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno declined to say Friday whether fellow Republican Rep. Max Miller should remain on the ballot after Miller was accused of domestic violence by his ex-wife, who is also Moreno's daughter.
Asked directly whether Republicans should replace Miller as their nominee, Moreno's answer was strikingly noncommittal.
"I don't know."
Moreno has said little publicly about the allegations against Miller, who has denied claims by his ex-wife that include assaulting her and abusing their young daughter.
The accusations have cast a shadow over one of the Republicans’ most closely watched House races, with political analysts this week downgrading Miller's seat from "likely” Republican" to "leans” Republican.
A spokesperson for Moreno later said the senator "will not speak on active litigation involving his family."
That response stood in sharp contrast to fellow Ohio Republican Rep. Jim Jordan, who this week dismissed the allegations as "a family matter," praised Miller as "a good man," and said he hoped he would win reelection when pressed on CNN.
Moreno took a different approach. He didn't try to defend Miller, nor call for him to step aside, essentially giving his fealty to Donald J. Trump greater consideration than the health and well being of his daughter and granddaughter.
And when asked whether the congressman who allegedly scalded his daughter and broke his granddaughter’s collarbone, then sued her for defamation, should remain the Republican nominee, all he could muster was "I don't know."
For a party that has long campaigned as the champion of family values, the allegations against Max Miller have become more than a political problem.
They now place one Republican senator in the painful position of weighing loyalty to his party against allegations brought by his own daughter.
Moreno’s reaction was, as we say, shameful.
