Three GOP Senate candidates, including two with Trump’s backing, have been accused of violence against women. Republicans don’t seem to mind.
In Missouri, a woman who had an affair with former Gov.said he sexually assaulted her and blackmailed her with nude photos. The estranged wife of Army veteran Sean Parnell, the leading Republican candidate in Pennsylvania, twice took out temporary protection-from-abuse orders against him.
“Americans are pretty forgiving,” Sen. Kevin Cramer said when asked about the allegations against Walker. “I don’t think that’s a deal breaker. I actually think he’s quite a good candidate.” Retiring Sen. Pat Toomey studiously avoided weighing in on the race to replace him when asked about the allegations against Parnell.
“Sexist rhetoric. 911 calls. Restraining orders,” a female narrator says in the ad. “The real record of Sean Parnell.” Far more disturbing are the accusations against Walker and Greitens. Walker’s ex-wife, who cited “physically abusive behavior” in her request for a divorce in 2001, told ABC News in 2008 that he once pointed a loaded gun at her head and told her he would “blow your f’ing brains out.” In a filing for a protective order that was granted in 2005, his ex-wife’s sister said Walker directly threatened to shoot both his ex-wife and her new boyfriend.
