South Carolina Rep. Chris Corley has been arrested after police say he assaulted his wife and pointed a handgun at her.
Corley, 36, who represents Graniteville in Aiken County in the South Carolina House of Representatives, was arrested Tuesday by the Aiken County Sheriff's Office.
Arrest warrants for Corley show he has been charged with first-degree domestic violence and pointing and presenting firearms at a person.
Warrants state Corley, in the presence of an 8-year-old child, did "cause physical harm and injury" to the victim, by "striking her about the head and face with a closed fist and further did, after threatening to kill the victim, point a Smith & Wesson ... handgun at the victim causing her to fear for her life."
Deputies responded on Monday to a home on the 100 block of Sugar Hill Drive in Graniteville, where a woman said Corley, who she identified as her husband, hit her in the face with his fist and said he was going to kill her while children were in the home, police reported.
The woman told deputies Corley was "caught cheating."
Corley made national news last year after sending out a Christmas card featuring a confederate flag to his colleagues suggesting that they "ask for forgiveness of all your sins such as betrayal."
And yes of course he was a Trump supporter.
Well I'll tell you right now that once Donald Trump is sworn into office it will once again be perfectly alright for a man to pistol whip his wife for catching him cheating on her.
Just like it says in the Bible.
Probably.
The Republican party is the party of smug self-righteous hypocrites. The 'family values' shtick is a cloak to hide their lying sociopathic nature.
ReplyDeleteRepublicans embraced Palin, elected Trump, and deny science (while they live in a technological world made possible by science). These POS's are the benchmark for stupid.
ReplyDeleteAnother Republican "do as I say not as I do" elected official (just like PEOTUS). No surprises with these people EVER.
ReplyDeleteOff topic but this is an excerpt from a news piece in Canada -
'The survival of liberal democracy may now depend on the will of citizens to defend it effectively against attacks.'
- Journal of Democracy
'The warning signs are flashing red'
Just as frightening is the creeping loss of faith in democracy within the democracies. That trend is starkly clear, according to academics compiling a report to be published in the January issue of the Journal of Democracy, which has posted a draft version here.
http://www.journalofdemocracy.org/sites/default/files/Foa%26Mounk%20-%20JoD%2028.1%20-%20PRE-PRINT%20VERSION.pdf
In a nutshell, Yascha Mounk, of Harvard University, and Roberto Stefan Foa, of the University of Melbourne, suggest that western democracy is going out of style as younger people — but not just younger people — are increasingly tempted by the notion of leaders who need not bother with getting elected. As Mounk told the New York Times, "the warning signs are flashing red."
Mounk and Foa's paper details how chauvinist, anti-democratic leaders have trampled on independent, liberal institutions which previously seemed sturdy.
In Poland, once a model of post-communist enlightenment, Lech Kaczynski's Law and Justice party won the 2015 elections, then cracked down on the free press and the constitutional court. In Venezuela, a well-rooted democratic system of free elections was swiftly torn up after Hugo Chavez came to power in 1998, and today there is starvation there.
Couldn't happen here, you say? Mounk and Foa beg to differ.
"Citizens who retain a deep commitment to the core values of liberal democracy," they say, "must recognize that their countries' past stability is no reason for complacency.
"The power now wielded by anti-system parties and movements is unprecedented. So is the deep disenchantment with democracy they exploit so shrewdly. As a result, the survival of liberal democracy may now depend on the will of citizens to defend it effectively against attacks."
Instead, they report, those citizens are losing interest. In a U.S. survey from October they cite, 46 per cent of respondents said they either "never had" or had "lost" faith in U.S. democracy. And the younger they are, the less faith they have — and that's not just in the U.S.
I hope this twisted scum gets the maximum penalty.
ReplyDeleteHopefully the gun is not a Glock. If so the wife will be jailed for filing a false report. This S.C.
ReplyDeleteI seriously doubt it was the first time he beat his wife down in front of their kid
ReplyDeleteEwww. Put his hood back on him.
ReplyDeleteYou know this guy drives a pick up with a ball sack hanging off the trailer hitch. Playboy mud flaps and a Confederate Flag flying off the antenna.
Unfaithful wife + a modern fundamentalist application of the Hebrew Bible = some kind of vindictive satisfaction for Gryphen's endless butt hurt.
ReplyDeleteUm, Jude it was the HUSBAND who was accused of fucking around, or "caught cheating" as it says in the above article(your reading skills are primo). And how dare the little wife ever accuse her big man of adultery! Guess she got the beatdown she deserved, according to your uber-macho Buybull? And I'll just bet that YOU know how to CORRECTLY interpret all that ambivalent crap!
ReplyDeletePoor reading comprehension + blind devotion to 2000 year old goatherd superstition = some kind of smug assholery exclusive to you butthurt xtians.
Please return to C4P, or whatever xtian toilet you emerged from. Don't worry about the e. Coli, your omnipotent god knew nothing about germs then, and knows even less now.
