GOP doubles down over Work-for-Less Jamie's domestic violence scandal

While I was on my Texas trip, a major scandal involving Kentucky's Republican Party blew wide open: Jamie Comer - the serial liar who serves as Agriculture Commissioner and who is now running for governor - had been the target of allegations that he physically abused his former girlfriend Marilyn Thomas. Now Thomas has come forward with more details in a 4-page letter to the Louisville Courier-Journal. Thomas's former roommate has corroborated her account:

This isn't the first scandal like this in the GOP, and it's one of many reasons why the party has to be consigned to the sanitary sewer of history. Domestic violence is a serious matter, and the Republicans - a party that has displayed a pattern of harboring abusers - have to face the stiffest fallout possible for this scandal. I've briefly alluded to Comer's scandal in some of my past writings, but part of my job is to maximize the consequences for disgraces like this. I owe Kentucky nothing less than the permanent ruin of the Republican Party.

This is not a selfish political goal. The response by Republicans to the scandal shows why. After the story finally hit the papers, local Republicans haven't abandoned Comer. Shockingly, they've doubled down on their support for him. In fact, for the first time in months, Comer's chance of winning the Republican primary has improved. That's because the GOP base doesn't think like normal people like you and me.

Over the past few days, Jamie Comer has abused Marilyn Thomas nonstop in the media. Comer can't go 5 seconds without dishing out more abuse - just like how the Republican Party can't go that long without abusing the country.

I'm not letting up in my fight against Team Tyranny, but with stories like this, my work might not even be necessary to get them off the game board.
