Rep. Max Miller explained why he’s staying in the race by pointing back to 2015 and 2016. He said the media piled on Donald J. Trump with a flood of accusations — dozens of women, all kinds of wild claims, and serious allegations of criminal behavior.
Despite all that, Trump refused to quit and kept fighting. Miller is essentially saying he’s following the same approach. We’re at the point where he’ll say it was ‘locker room talk’ over accusations that he held a gun to his then-wife’s head, and scalded her with boiling water. Or his 2-year-old daughter’s broken collarbone.
Miller spoke with Newsmax’s Rob Finnerty and made the comparison to Trump, an adjudicated rapist.
“There are reports today, and in the interest of time, I won’t play the President from the Oval Office, but he was asked about this,” Finnerty said. “I know that you worked for him in the first administration. I know he’s fond of you. He was at your wedding at Bedminster.”
“But there are reports that there are Republicans pressuring President Trump to convince you to drop out of this race,” he said. “He’s on his way to California tonight, but you essentially have less than 24 hours to make this decision. Is there any way, or do you have any plans, to drop out of this race over the next day?”
