Trump-backed Max Miller targets ‘so-called Republican’
in Ohio congressional battle
Rep. Anthony
Gonzalez is akin to a car that has been deemed a lemon.
That’s according to Max Miller, the
Republican who launched a primary challenge against Mr. Gonzalez after
former President Trump called
for the scalps of GOP lawmakers
like Mr. Gonzalez who
supported impeachment following the Jan. 6 attack on the U.S. Capitol.
Mr. Miller says
voters in Ohio’s 16th Congressional District were sold on the idea that
Mr. Gonzalez would
fight for them in Washington, but have buyer’s remorse after discovering his brand
of politics is out of sync with Trumpism and the MAGA movement.
“I have no other interest in doing
this other than to serve the people of the 16th District and get an ‘America
First’ conservative in Congress and get one who is a so-called Republican out,”
Mr. Miller told
The Washington Times.
The 32-year-old former Trump aide
became more of a household name in February when Mr. Trump gave him his “Complete
and Total Endorsement!” and warned that Mr. Gonzalez does
not represent the “interest” or “heart” of voters in the district.
Mr. Trump is
set to sing the challenger’s praises Saturday at Lorain County Fairgrounds in
Wellington, Ohio, marking his first
campaign-style rally of the 2022 election cycle.

In other news, outgoing Ohio Senator Rob Portman is in the news again. Here's the headline over Matt Vespa’s Townhall
column:
GOP Senators Mobilize
to Stop Largest Gun Confiscation
and Registration Attempt in History
Under Biden
. . . Oh, who are the two Republicans who refused to sign onto this communique? That would be Sens. Rob Portman (R-OH) and Susan Collins (R-ME).
