On Friday Ohio MAGA Congressman Max Miller – the former Trump White House aide accused of punching fellow staffer Steph Grisham while they were dating, the subject of (probably accurate) shit-talking from George Santos on the House floor on Thursday – sent an email to colleagues said to be wavering on expelling the piece of shit by sharing the “personal impact” of Santos’s crimes.
“Late yesterday on the floor I alluded to a personal impact of Rep Santos’s conduct. Earlier this year I learned that the Santos campaign had charged my personal credit card – and the personal card of my Mother – for contribution amounts that exceeded FEC limits. Neither my Mother nor I approved these charges or were aware of them. We have spent tens of thousands of dollars in legal fees in the resulting follow up. I’ve seen a list of roughly 400 other people to whom the Santos campaign allegedly did this. I believe some other members of this conference might have had the same experience. While I understand and respect the position of those who will vote against the expulsion resolution, my personal experience related to the allegations and findings of the Ethics Committee compels me to vote for the resolution. Since I alluded to this on the floor yesterday, and because of the significance of the question before us, I believe you’re entitled to this further explanation,” Miller wrote without adding anything about how letting Santos skate might make Republicans look like they’re abiding his conduct and voters might not react well to that. Just the “personal impact.”
