A Trump-endorsed MAGA Republican facing domestic abuse allegations drew swift backlash after touting a recognition for his support of mothers and “the family unit as a whole.”
Rep. Max Miller (R-OH) shared a post on social media showing a smiling image of himself with an “A” grade from Moms for America Action.
“Thank you @momsforamerica for this recognition,” Miller wrote Monday. “Supporting mothers and the family unit as a whole is supporting American values. That's why I joined @RepLuna in her efforts to allow proxy voting for new mothers in Congress.”
Conservative activist Kylie Jane Kremer didn’t hide her perspective on the odd recognition.
“Pretty awful that @MomsforAmerica would publicly celebrate @RepMaxMiller in light of the serious allegations of abuse and violence against him,” she wrote on X. “Do they not believe Republican Senator @berniemoreno and his own daughter? For an organization that claims to champion mothers and families, this is incredibly disappointing and heartbreaking.”
Other reactions ranged from disbelief to mockery.
American Bridge communications director Monica Venzke responded in a social media post with a string of question marks, while Capitol Hill reporter Julian Andreone of Drop Site News asked his followers: “WHAT for America??”
“Certainly a choice to post about this,” journalist Timmy Facciola posted.
Politics and elections writer Drew Savicki joked, “Starting my own organization called Moms Against America.”
Retired reporter Darrel Rowland told followers the post was “Not the Onion.”
The House Ethics Committee is reviewing the allegations against Miller. He has denied any wrongdoing.
Thank you @momsforamerica for this recognition. Supporting mothers, and the family unit as a whole, is supporting American values.
