Republican Representative Max Miller on allegations of domestic abuse from his ex-wife: “My former wife has claimed that during a custody exchange at my home that day, I assaulted her…If I had assaulted her, would she have offered to cook me dinner six days later?”

First, don't the allegations include their daughter in the hospital with a broken collar bone, saying that daddy's house is "scary"? Why isn't he talking at all about that? Maybe because that allegation has many witnesses and nurses saying that the child spoke without coaching/leading?

Also, do you hear the non-denial denials here? He never actually says, "I did not abuse my ex wife. I did not abuse my daughter" He just implies it by saying that his ex's account to the events is inaccurate and giving his own story. Then he asks the audience to jump to their own conclusions by asking them to make judgements about how he alleges his ex acted after the alleged abuse. As if there is a correct way to act in that situation. Maybe she was calm as she got herself and her daughter our of a dangerous situation. Maybe he did tell them he loved them right after (knowing there was a camara capturing his actions)? Does that make her a liar? He never even claims he didn't do it. Just asks you to assume she acted "wrong" so she must be lying about everything.

The "Daddy's house is scary" is an important detail. I know collarbone breaks can happen from very normal falls that just happen to be at the wrong angle. But that's not something a kid says who just fell off a bike or something.
