MAGA world is unloading on Ohio Representative Max Miller.<\/p>\n
Senator Tim Sheehy tore into the Trump-backed congressman on Thursday, deriding him as a \u201cdegenerate sociopath.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat kind of person would treat their daughter this way?\u201d Sheehy wrote on X, referring to a recent incident in which Miller allegedly withheld his child\u2019s favorite toy, seemingly out of spite. \u201cThis guy is clearly a degenerate sociopath.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cMax should step aside and seek help,\u201d Sheehy continued. \u201cStaying in this race makes it far more likely we lose this seat and hand Democrats a majority to impeach President Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n
Miller stands accused of physically abusing his ex-wife and two-year-old child. Court filings and police reports detail incidents in which Miller allegedly threw his ex-wife against a wall, tossed scalding water on her, and held a gun to her head. Medical records submitted during the couple\u2019s custody dispute also cited several injuries to their young daughter, including a broken collarbone that allegedly occurred during Miller\u2019s care.<\/p>\n
Stephanie Grisham, who briefly served as a White House press secretary during Donald Trump\u2019s first term and dated Miller between 2019 and 2020, has also accused him of physical abuse.<\/p>\n
The charges have made Miller a remarkably unpopular person, tanking his odds at the polls. Nonetheless, he has refused to back down, insisting on staying in the race through the November election.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m not going anywhere,\u201d Miller told CNN Wednesday.<\/p>\n
Trump has similarly refused to peel back his endorsement for the second-term MAGA lawmaker. On Monday, Trump insisted to reporters that Miller is a \u201cgood person.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI mean I always thought he was a very good person. And I\u2019m going to let the families figure that out,\u201d Trump said. \u201cIt\u2019s accusations, and I\u2019m going to let them figure that out.\u201d<\/p>\n
The situation has sparked some high tension between Miller and his ultraconservative colleagues, who are also fretting over the possibility of losing their congressional majority.<\/p>\n
There seem to be three possible options for the contentious Ohio race: Miller withdraws himself to make way for a new nominee (which he must do by Saturday), or the Ohio Republican Party certifies a replacement nominee, which they would need to do by Monday. Otherwise, Miller will stay on the ballot.<\/p>\n
President Donald Trump\u2019s new director of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention thinks the government should know if you\u2019ve had an abortion.<\/p>\n
During her confirmation hearing Wednesday, Dr. Erica Schwartz committed to improving \u201cabortion surveillance,\u201d despite advocates\u2019 insistence that federal tracking violates patient privacy and undermines access.<\/p>\n
\u201cAbortion surveillance is absolutely a critical component of what the CDC is currently doing,\u201d Schwartz told lawmakers.<\/p>\n
