Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) refused to abandon his reelection campaign Sunday and denied allegations he physically abused his ex-wife by holding a gun to her head, throwing boiling water at her, and breaking his 2-year-old daughter’s collarbone.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery one of these allegations traces back to a single source: my former wife,\u201d Miller said in a lengthy livestream broadcast. \u201cI’m not getting out of this race, and I’m winning in November.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miller’s campaign has been plagued by abuse allegations made by his ex-wife Emily Moreno, daughter of Sen. Bernie Moreno (R-OH), in tied to their divorce.<\/p>\n

Miller noted that no criminal charges have been filed against him, and that Child Protective Services had found all accusations leveled against him to be unsubstantiated. He also shared a trove of documents<\/u> that he argued supported his denials, though the files have since become inaccessible.<\/p>\n

The nearly 20-minute video went live just days after Moreno filed a new restraining order, alleging Miller physically grabbed one of her attorneys during a hearing and spurring her to demand, \u201cGet your hands off of him,” the Washington Post reported.<\/p>\n

Stated the report, “She also alleged that Miller used a profane slur to insult Zashin\u2019s fianc\u00e9e as they were leaving the courtroom.”<\/p>\n

Miller on Sunday addressed several specific allegations leveled against him by his ex-wife, including an accusation that he threw boiling water on her.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt was horseplay in our kitchen\u201d Miller said. “I sprayed water at her from the sprayer attached to our kitchen sink tapwater, which does not reach boiling temperature.”<\/p>\n

Miller added, \u201cOur court-appointed parent coordinator testified, under oath, that the single photo she was shown of this supposed injury looked a little red and that there was no physician’s report \u2013 none.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miller also addressed an allegation<\/u> that he had \u201cthrown\u201d his ex-wife \u201cagainst the wall\u201d in February.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe came to my home in a good mood \u2013 and we have text messages to prove it \u2013 to pick up our daughter early for a friend’s birthday party,\u201d Miller said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe video shows her walking out, carrying our daughter calm, in the same good mood, showing no distress whatsoever. As they left, you could hear me say ‘goodbye, I love you,’ literally telling my ex-wife that I still cared for her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Miller continued, posing a rhetorical question: \u201cDoes that sound like somebody who would just walk out and who have [sic] been violently thrown against a wall?\u201d<\/p>\n

The Ohio Republican argued Moreno’s decision not to seek out law enforcement or medical help proved she had not been attacked.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe didn’t go to the hospital, ladies and gentlemen,” said Miller. “She went straight to a child’s birthday party.”<\/p>\n

Miller claimed the pair later had a friendly talk on the phone and she offered to cook empanadas.<\/p>\n

\u201cI I had assaulted her,” Miller said, “would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?\u201d<\/p>\n

Finally, Miller refuted allegations that he had broken his 2-year-old daughter\u2019s collarbone, claiming she was not in his care at the time.<\/p>\n

He also argued that the time he’d spent with his ex-wife and daughter since the divorce was further evidence of his innocence, boasting, “I actually have more time with her and our daughter than the average divorced father in Ohio!”<\/p>\n
