Allegations, Accountability, and the American Ballot Box: The Max Miller Saga and Our Democratic Health
Republican Congressman Max Miller, a former Trump advisor, faces intense scrutiny and calls for resignation from Democrats due to serious domestic abuse allegations from his ex-wife, Emily Moreno, amid his tight re-election campaign in Ohio. The spectacle of a sitting Congressman embroiled in such violent personal allegations, while his party and political allies largely stand by him, is a gut-wrenching abdication of public trust that stains our democracy and betrays the basic human dignity our institutions are sworn to protect.
