Rep. Max Miller: "These are incredibly serious criminal accusations. If these accusations were true, I would be in jail — I would be. My former wife would not have been offering to cook me dinner and inviting me to playgrounds. Think about that."

A brief seminar on the domestic violence 'cycle of violence' can explain why she would cook him dinner after he abused her. He says she has mental issues. That's also an indicator of an abuser trying to trivialize Ms. Moreno's account of abuse.

His statement reeks of guilt. Did he first state the accusations weren't true or deny them at all? He said they were serious, but he did not say they were false. His stammering could be nerves on camera, but he is no stranger to speaking in public. Bad things happened to his wife and he knows what.

Maybe she did that you motherfauxker because she wanted to keep the peace. All of us survivors find ways to make it through. We make you lunch, make you dinner, inviting you to see your children….even at times going to bed with you. All of it is to just make the madness stop until...

Think about Stockholm syndrome but more importantly, the horrible cycle of ongoing, hair-trigger violence in the very air you breath every minute

Don't abusers usually blame the victim? Don't abusers usually try to minimize their abuse in the same way this guy is trying to? Yup, this guy's guilty. I'm hopeful the justice system comes to the same conclusion, but it doesn't really work out in favor of the victim, especially against Congressmen.

That ring camera video he didn’t share sure cleared things up for me…. I also enjoy the logic of “it never happened, see look at this video of me not doing anything… if it’s not on this specific video it didn’t happen, right?”

Not helping Max. Victims are intimidated into thinking that their assaulter will be nicer next time. Victims are intimidated into believing that it’s their own fault they were abused. Intimidated into doing whatever the assaulter wants them to do. Intimidated into silence-fearing more abuse.

"The fact that I'm not in jail proves that I don't belong there". Interesting how the fascists don't apply that same logic to immigrants and POC who are law-abiding and just trying to get on with their lives.

These guys believe in the old saying…bullshit baffles brains…although I am somewhat surprised, was expecting Miller and his scum bag father in law to pressure his ex to withdraw her accusations and say something along the lines of, it was all a misunderstanding…💩

No. I think of you in prison. The poor woman is afraid of you as the victim of violent abuse. Only in Trump’s America can you post a video of yourself as a victim of sexual violence as the perpetrator. My god Bernie Moreno attacks Dr Fauci and doesn’t attack his daughter’s attacker.

Typical deflection of an abuser. His wife will say and do anything (with a smile) to gingerly placate his ego to avoid his violent outbreaks until she and her child can get away safely. Eggshell walking is exhausting. Men are exhausting.

Police are famous for doing such a good job keeping domestic abusers locked up and away from their victims. The accusations couldn't possibly be true! So, free to harass his victim, there is no way she would placate him with a meal or a park visit to keep him from hurting her again. 🤦‍♀️

There's not an American in this country who doesn't know for a fact he's a liar. This country is packed with white men who get away with domestic abuse against their partners and children. Especially white men like him.

Just gonna throw this out there: Miller isn't replying to a reporter off the cuff. He and his team planned his statement, had multiple takes, edited it, and decided to release this as the best possible defense he and the whole team could think of.

He seriously thought this would help? His eyes are barely open and he probably had a few to calm his nerves. He epitomizes an abuser. I hope Ohio kicks his ass out of Congress

Oh I'm sure Bernie Moreno stepped in for his daughter (oh no wait, that wasn't important to him during his political run), dude only cared when it hit the news. What a (car salesman) scumbag

For an abused person who feels trapped with a coercive or controlling physical abuser, appeasement is one common survival strategy. The abused-abuser dynamic is well known; the evidence, plain and abundant; the research, settled. I witnessed this dynamic many times during my nursing career.

Watch it on mute, and you can just feeeeeeel it oozing out of the screen at you. His eyes locked ahead pressuring the viewer that "I need you to believe what I'm saying or else". They all use this same expression, it's like there's a class they take.

If Tina Turner was really getting beatin by Ike why would she still sing with him, live with him, attend parties, concerts, have kids with him... huh. Typical abusers response: The person I'm beating doesn't run away

She told the detective who investigated the daughter's injuries that she didn't bother to report him because of the power he had. If she can't go to the cops she can't refuse to cook dinner. Anyone who believes his lies aren't worth your time.

Miller: I hope you like my outfit. It's the same one I wore when I was profiled in Domestic Abusers Monthly. They also let me spread the most common myths about domestic violence victims...🙄

nsadvocate.org/2021/08/12/l... MY REPORTER DIED 46 DAYS AFTER RUNNING THIS STORY FOR ME, HE HAD RUN A STORY ABOUT THIS DUMP'S "MANAGER" WANTING TO RUN OVER CYCLISTS, LESS THAN A MONTH PRIOR, I SAW IT AND REACHED OUT WITH MY 1 DUMP 2 RECEIPT BOOKS PETITION, ON @change.org BRIDGETOWN NOVA SCOTIA HERE

Is Max Miller's whole video message a scene from "I Think You Should Leave"? "Why would she make me EMPANDAS? Why? You can't make empanadas for people you DON'T LIKE. You can't do that."

Gotta love a bit of begging the question in the morning. Goodness knows a well connected person has never been able to avoid the accountability of the law and that victims of abuse always immediately leave the situation. He is a shit liar
