Rep. Max Miller was facing public backlash on Tuesday after a heated interview with CNN anchor Jake Tapper. Tapper pressed Miller, who has been facing allegations of abusing his ex-wife and 2-year-old daughter, to respond to serious questions about the accusations as calls for him to resign were mounting. Political and media experts weighed in on Miller's reactions during the conversation. "Rep. Max Miller's interview with Jake Tapper was one of the most self-destructive things I've ever witnessed on cable news," journalist Aaron Rupar wrote on Bluesky. "Rep. Max Miller floundering to keep his assertions straight while defending himself to Jake Tapper," Rolling Stone politics reporter Nikki McCann Ramírez wrote on Bluesky.
