Implementing highly unpopular policies by a highly unpopular president and Congress is forcing. You REALLY want to go there? We could spend all day going back and forth on this. You might. But you seem to have a limitless capacity to delve into minutia and irrelevancies. When you don't just make shit up. When you don't delve into Soviet-style whataboutism. Ted Kennedy. Really? The man has been dead for a while now. What ever it was with Mary Jo, that was half a century ago. And that has nothing to do with the basket of deplorables that make up the Trump voters.

Way to repeat bullsh-t. But it is as can be expected. Jim Renacci rips Sherrod Brown for domestic abuse; senator’s ex-wife refutes claim By Jack Torry Dispatch Washington Bureau By Jessica Wehrman Dispatch Washington Bureau Posted Sep 13, 2018 at 12:43 PM Updated Sep 13, 2018 at 6:52 PM WASHINGTON — An “independent” organization linked to the Republican Party is dredging up decades-old allegations of domestic abuse against Sen. Sherrod Brown, which prompted his former wife to say the use of her divorce records by the GOP is “shameless” and “disgusting.” The organization, known as #MeTooOhio, is spending less than $100,000 to show a 60-second digital commercial that resurrects allegations that Brown in the 1980s physically abused his then-wife, Larke. The group called for him resign immediately, comparing his case with those of everyone from Bill Cosby to former Ohio State assistant football coach Zach Smith. The group filed organization papers with the Federal Election Commission just last week ad listing its address in Alexandria, Virginia., a suburb of Washington, D.C. Listed at the exact same address are several groups affiliated with GOP campaign organizations, including one that helps fund the Republican National Committee. The RNC issued a statement Thursday condemning Brown based on the “explosive” ad, which the GOP credited to a “women’s rights group.” That Ohio women group’s chief spokeswoman, Alice Stewart, went to school in Georgia and worked in Arkansas but has never lived in Ohio, and is a former adviser to the GOP presidential campaigns of Mike Huckabee and Ted Cruz. “I think it’s more important to focus on the content of the information rather than those who are informing the public about it,” she said. But after the video was made public by the Daily Caller web site in Washington, Renacci said in an emailed statement: “Brown’s well–documented history of domestic violence is deeply troubling. Ohioans deserve to know all the facts, and judge his fitness for public office for themselves.” The ad resuscitates charges made in 2012 by Senate Republican candidate Josh Mandel in his unsuccessful race against Brown. The Brown campaign, which long anticipated Republicans would attempt to inject his first marriage into the race, released a statement from the former wife, now Larke Recchie, saying “this isn’t the first time someone has gone after my family to score cheap political points.” “I’m dismayed that Congressman Renacci would do something this shameless, despite the fact that I’ve already addressed this matter,” Recchie said. “I was proud to support Sherrod in 2006 and 2012 — just as I am this time around,” she said. “Anyone who suggests he is not an honorable man is just wrong.” “He’s a great father to our daughters Emily and Liz and he’s a wonderful grandfather to our grandchildren,” she said. “Disparaging my family for political gain is disgusting, and Congressman Renacci should know better.” Recchie and her husband Joe held a fund-raiser in their central Ohio home last weekend for Brown’s re–election campaign. Initially, nobody claimed credit for producing the commercial, but digital footprints led to Majority Strategies in Florida, a political consulting firm headed by Brett Buerck, a former Ohio Republican Party official who still does contract work for the state party as well as printing and production for Renacci’s Senate campaign. The state party also issued a statement condemning Brown over the ad. more at dispatch.com
