If he was that out of control publicly, I can only imagine the nightmare his wife and children were living before she left.
I was in an abusive relationship in college. It lasted 9 months. If I had left at the first Red Flag, it would have been over in a month. Near the end it became pretty obvious to everyone. But the only person who could get me out of it was me.
When I am in a position to give advice to others experiencing Partner Abuse, I tell them 3 things.
One: It is never their fault. Not even if they decide to stay. No one has the right to abuse another human being.
Two: Plan their escape but listen to their gut. If at any point when they go to implement their plan and their gut screams at them it isn’t safe? Then listen to their guts. The most dangerous day in an abused person’s life (and their children’s if they have any) is the day they leave - their abuser is at their most lethal when they realize their victims are gone.
Three: Never, ever feel guilty about what they do to protect themselves and their children.
If his fellow Republicans wanted him to resign, he must be very unpleasant to work with. Sort of a "reheats fish in the break room microwave" co-worker. They use do not demand a resignation after one of them does something criminal or heinous.
Well, the GOP has a 2/3 majority in both the state house and senate, so one person resigning isn't going to hurt them and his actions were so egregious and (more importantly) reported on makes this an easy choice and easy good PR for them in the state.
And what percentage of these kinds of stories come from the right wing of our government? A very, very high percentage I would say. Could this be the result of decades of toxic macho assholes trying to convince people that he with the biggest dick is the strongest and the smartest "man" in the room? Perhaps? Just asking questions here.
"campaign ads in which he falsely accused his then-opponent, Matt Shaughnessy, of having committed domestic violence 20 years ago." ALWAYS PROJECTION WITH THESE JACKOFFS.......
And, whataboutism! Or maybe he didn't even realize the surprising similarity between what he was claiming his enemy did once long ago, and what he liked to do all the time now! And that would be a fourth pattern-- not realizing things they're doing.
He seems nice. When the thing you are “looking forward to” is an unlikely acquittal on charges that you hit your wife, destroyed her means of calling for help and attacked her family, you are a Republican!
"Ironically, Young is also currently being sued for defamation over campaign ads in which he falsely accused his then-opponent, Matt Shaughnessy, of having committed domestic violence 20 years ago. "
It really is all projection with these people, isn't it?
OT: Does anyone else watch C-SPAN 2 on Saturday? They have a bunch of American History lectures. This one is quite profound “ in war, you could get killed” Sometimes I worry how I spend my free time.
the projection is amazing--this guy should be put away for many years

I'm not generally a fan of the gut as decision-making organ, but in this case it's more than fine.
It's a Political Witch Hunt! (sarcasm)
And they keep finding so MANY witches.
About time these syphilitic cockscabs start going to jail. "Gazpacho Police" Greene next please?
I assume he's violently "pro-life" as well.

Well, the Biggest Dick may be their front runner (though that description is far from physical).
The correct form of address is: Flopsie "Mushroom Dick" Trump

I seem to detect a pattern between a tendency to gravitate toward conservative beliefs and the use of violence as a practical solution to problems.
I too have detected a similar pattern. Perhaps we have something here....

He attacked his own family, for taking her side

Not ironic at all. Seems right in character. Rethugs have destroyed irony.

He should move to Tennessee. A little thing like that won't get you kicked out here.
As long as he doesn't beat her with a stick wider than his thumb, it would probably get him elected.
Distraction? DISTRACTION????!!!!! You terrorize your wife and call it a distraction? GFY and DIAF, Young.
