Goodness, this is an incredible article. Here's the first paragraph - which I've purposely split into three to facilitate reading.

We give thanks this Sunday for a nifty little reminder that it only apparently takes thousands upon thousands of Americans screaming at a member of Congress for weeks at a time to make that congressman–a senator, in fact–publicly acknowledge the headlines about his own daughter’s (and granddaughter’s) claimed abuse at the hands of her former husband, who is naturally another Republican congressman.

We’re talking of course about junior Ohio Sen. Bernie Moreno, recently vying for the title of the most pathetic man in Congress, given that he spent several years pretending not to know anything about the fact that his daughter Emily Moreno had accused her congressman ex-husband, Ohio Rep. Max Miller, of repeated emotional and physical abuse of her and their two-year-old daughter.

Despite knowing all about this for at least the last two years by his own admission, Bernie Moreno intentionally went out of his way not to say a bad word about the fellow GOP congressman who was his former son-in-law, instead tacitly supporting his reelection in the upcoming November midterm elections, in a race that was until recently seen as a very safe one for Republicans. Not so much, now.

How DARE he Defend his Daughter!

-Family Values Republicans!

"Next at 11PM, Republican discovers his daughter is a person. Also puppies and sports with Larry"

Yeah, this really has nothing to do with Republican politics and everything to do with patriarchal values.

On second thought, it has everything to do with Republican politics.

I heard he's also one of those homophobic gays, and he might have been blackmailed because of it?

It was from a political commentator on YouTube, so I need better sourcing but I guess good for the daughter, but He's still not a good person.

It talks about that in the article. It's connected.

As for Sen. Bernie Moreno, theories, rumors and allegations have swirled in recent weeks that he was particularly loath to speak out about Miller’s alleged abuse of his own daughter because Miller was holding damaging information about him–potentially something tied to a minor 2024 scandal in which an old profile under Moreno’s name was found on a gay hookup site.
