Bernie Moreno puts random backbencher above his own daughter
By 
Imagine how twisted you have to be to get to this place:
Ohio Senator Bernie Moreno isn’t willing to take a stand on the political future of the guy who allegedly held a gun to his daughter’s head.
NOTUS asked Moreno Friday whether Republicans should move to replace Representative Max Miller on Ohio’s ballot, after gruesome allegations surfaced that he had physically abused his ex-wife, Emily Moreno.
“I don’t know,” the senator told NOTUS.
It’s not clear what about this situation has Moreno so mystified. Moreno’s own daughter accused Miller of throwing hot water on her body, holding a gun to her head, and breaking their two-year-old daughter’s collarbone. Earlier this week, Emily Moreno filed for a new restraining order against Miller, alleging that he’d physically grabbed one of her attorneys and used a profane slur.
If that doesn’t elicit the strongest condemnation, what does the Ohio senator care about?
Admittedly, it’s hard to separate the partisanship and the misogyny, given how close the two are embedded.
Meanwhile, Jim Jordan continues to perfect the art of looking the other way:
One of the many downsides of extreme gerrymandering is that the near-total lack of competition turns can caucuses into particularly egregious cesspools.
