Jim Jordan defends GOP colleague accused of abuse
Jordan said he had not heard all the allegations as pressure grows over Miller’s future, after a New York Times report detailed abuse claims and a defamation suit.
- On Thursday, CNN's Kasie Hunt confronted Rep. Jim Jordan about his continued support for Rep. Max Miller amid domestic abuse allegations. Jordan insisted he had "not heard all this" and refused to call for Miller's resignation.
- Emily Moreno, daughter of Sen. Bernie Moreno , alleged in divorce filings that Miller threw hot water on her, held a gun to her head, and may have fractured their 2-year-old daughter's collarbone. Miller denied the claims as "outrageous."
- Hunt then contrasted Jordan's defense of Miller with his past demand that Democratic Maine Senate candidate Graham Platner drop out over abuse allegations. Jordan stammered when pressed on why he applies different standards to Republicans.
- Dismissing the situation as "a family matter," Jordan expressed hope for Miller's reelection and bragged about recently campaigning for him. Miller's campaign called allegations "outrageous" and vowed vigorous defense.
- While Democrats pressured Platner to exit his Senate race after abuse allegations emerged, Jordan continues backing Miller. The exchange underscores a partisan divide in how both parties handle accusations against their candidates.
