GOP congressman said he was run off the road by 'deranged man' on the way to work [View all]

Source: The Hill

Ohio Republican Rep. Max Miller said Thursday he was run off the road by a “deranged man” who waved a Palestinian flag in his direction and lobbed death threats before driving away.

Miller recounted the incident in a video posted to social platform X and pledged to hold the individual involved accountable, saying, “I will not hide in the face of this blatant antisemitic violence.”

“As I was driving to work, some unhinged, deranged man decided to lay on his horn and run me off the road, when he couldn’t get my attention, to show me a Palestinian flag, not to mention death to Israel, death to me — that he wanted to kill me and my family,” Miller said in the video.

The Ohio lawmaker did not specify whether the death threats were made verbally or otherwise.
