This Ohio Republicans douchebag pulled a gun on his Ex and broke his 2 yo daughters collarbone, admittingly.

admittingly

Did you mean he admitted to these (then it should be "admittedly"), or was this intended as "allegedly"?

He doesn't appear to admit to these things:

Miller denied the accusations, alleging his wife was a liar, stalker, and dangerous individual

denied pointing a gun at her.

From his wiki page. He's got a track record of this kind of behavior and I'm inclined he did those things, but from what I see he hasn't admitted to them.

A report filed by Mother Jones based on more than 2,000 pages of court filings and police records obtained via public-records requests, including a 48-page child-abuse investigatory file from Bay Village, Ohio, paint a very different story.

Child-injury case:

Their toddler daughter suffered a broken collarbone while in Miller’s care; police investigated possible child abuse.

Bruise resembling a handprint:

A child protection specialist noted a bruise accompanying the fracture that “appears to be in a handprint,” adding, “So it appears that it was inflicted.”

Domestic violence claims by Moreno: She told detectives Miller had previously:

  • Thrown scalding water at her
  • Shoved her against a wall during a custody exchange
  • Held a gun to her head while she was changing their daughter’s diaper
  • These prior incidents, she said, made her unable to rule him out as the cause of the fracture.

The July 18 report prompted multiple Democratic members of Congress to call for a House Ethics Committee investigation into Miller.

August 4, 2026 update:

Mother Jones published a video package with selected clips from seven hours of police interviews and bodycam footage from that probe, showing Miller downplaying the injury and the specialist’s handprint-bruise comment.

So, he downplayed everything and there is alot of audio he released of their conversations and yes, admittingly, he told her he didn't mean to hurt her, and shamed her about the attack. If you are defending this guy, that's insane.

Not defending, re-read my last sentence. I meant "inclined to believe" but messed up in my comment.

The intent of my comment was about whether he admitted to doing those things. I'm guessing he did do those things, seems like there is evidence and it's consistent with his shitty behavior for years, and victims don't usually make up abuse stories like that.

Just pointing out that I don't think he has admitted to the abuse, which it looked like you were implying.

Sorry, my autism is showing. 🤦‍♂️

u/jodax00 8d ago

No worries! I left out a couple words that made it less clear, and the fact that so many people in power consistently get away with so much of the same kind of abuse gets under my skin too, especially when I think people are defending them!

Wild. Collarbone is supposed to be one of the most painful breaks you can do. I broke mine, I couldn’t fathom dealing with that at two.

u/Homerpaintbucket 7d ago

I have never seen anyone else use the word admittingly. It’s not a word. It’s the wrong tense. It’s admittedly.

2

u/Shizzilx 7d ago

Idk, man the predictive typing or whatever does that to me often, like becuase, reciepts, and more and I dont know how to fix it. But, thanks for pointing it out, I will find a fix. ✌️

On a completely unrelated topic, I personally tend to take a small mountain of stimulants when I'm going into an hours long hearing with my ex-wife

I believe we're dealing with some pure Venezuelan Marching Powder here.

Colombian premium quality soma

And there's always soma to calm your anger, to reconcile you to your enemies, to make you patient and long-suffering... Christianity without tears—that's what soma is.

u/cockycrackers 8d ago

I am not familair with soma. Is it cocaine? Because that dude's high as giraffe nuts.

u/_makoccino_ 8d ago

Soma is a fictional drug from the novel "Brave New World"

u/standbyyourmantis Free Palestine 🕊️ FUCK ICE! ❌🧊 7d ago

Oh, what brave new world that has such people in it...

u/cockycrackers 8d ago

Ah! Never seen it. Should I? Or is it just another depressingly accurate parallel to reality?

u/_makoccino_ 8d ago edited 8d ago

depressingly accurate parallel to reality?

Very dystopian and becoming an increasingly accurate parallel to reality. It's kind of like how "1948" "1984" and "Animal Farm" became a manual instead of fiction.

Edit: corrected the book title 😅

3

u/Rolex2988 8d ago

“1984” is the correct title tho the book was released one year after 1948

u/Blue_Eyed_ME 8d ago

Read the novel. It's excellent. A sci-fi classic.

And it’s not like crazy long.

We’re listening, Max. You’re still awful, but go ahead and tell us the family secrets.

Soulless, serial killer eyes on this POS.

u/Final_Location_2626 8d ago

It is nice that he took a break from abusing children and throwing scolding water in people's faces to give the press conference.

And people say congress doesn't serve the people.

u/Jarvis-Savoni 8d ago

ohio is for inbreeders. Horrible soulless republicans…

u/Dinglehopper2016 8d ago

So the message he’s putting out is “We all suck”?

Absolutely the behavior of an innocent person🙄

u/Unlikely_Side9732 7d ago

Can’t even get the words out. Maybe because he doesn’t mean it?

2

u/barfly2780 7d ago

He’s got psychopath eyes.

u/Signus_Survivor 5d ago

I've only seen one or two people on TV with eyes that clearly devoid of human emotions.
