The MAGA party is certainly not immune from corruption, racism, and domestic/sexual abuse, that's for sure...
Additionally, Mother Jones reporter Abby Vesoulis looked into thousands of pages of filings involving Republican Congressman Max Miller of Ohio, who is facing allegations of brutal domestic abuse from his ex-wife Emily Moreno, who is the daughter of Ohio Republican Senator Bernie Moreno. She told police that Miller threw boiling water at her, held a gun to her head and shoved her against a wall. Miller denies the allegations, but the nonpartisan Cook Political Report has since moved his once-safe GOP seat to a toss-up.
Reporter Noah Lanard found that David Flippo, a Trump-backed Republican running for a House seat in the Reno, Nevada area, never actually received the Bronze Star he’s said he was awarded. Flippo also never filed four required financial disclosures, and has poured more than $2.5 million into his campaigns without revealing a source for the cash.
Garrison Hayes argued that it seems like Republican base voters don’t care if a candidate traffics in open racism and antisemitism. Voters will get to have their say in less than two weeks.

On the podcast Stress Test, D.C. reporter David Corn and co-host Garrison Hayes pointed to Colorado Republican gubernatorial candidate Victor Marx, who said any couple that lives together before marriage could end up being possessed by demons. They also highighted Georgia Republican Senate candidate Mike Collins, whose son-in-law has promoted white nationalist and antisemitic content while being on the campaign’s payroll.Additionally, Mother Jones reporter Abby Vesoulis looked into thousands of pages of filings involving Republican Congressman Max Miller of Ohio, who is facing allegations of brutal domestic abuse from his ex-wife Emily Moreno, who is the daughter of Ohio Republican Senator Bernie Moreno.
