The GOP has the BEST PEOPLE (Update – Will someone please think of the men who beat their wives?)
By 
In the past 24 hours:
Rob Porter, staff secretary. Out of the White House due to allegations of domestic violence.
David Sorensen, speechwriter. Same, while singing the abuser’s favorite song: She’s lying, she hurt herself acting crazy and I’m the real victim.
The Washington Post’s Elise Viebeck reports that David Sorensen, a speechwriter, is resigning. His ex-wife, Jessica Corbett, has accused Sorensen of physical and emotional abuse in their two-and-a-half-year marriage. The couple divorced in September.
Timothy Nolan, former judge, Tea Partier, school board member and Kentucky campaign chair for Old Beast Dotard. Off to the Big House for multiple counts of human trafficking.
Today, Attorney General Andy Beshear announced that former Campbell County District Judge Timothy Nolan has pleaded guilty to numerous felony charges, including human trafficking of adults, promoting human trafficking of minors and unlawful transaction with minors.
I keep thinking that these are the things we’re finding out now. A decade from now articles about the Republican Party during this period will merit a warning to keep a receptacle for vomit handy.
UPDATE: Guess what can’t stop expressing sympathy for white men accused of assaulting women? (Black and Hispanic teens need not apply.)
Somewhat related — It’s going to be fun watching Mike Pence run as the Vote for Me, I Knew Nozzing! candidate eight years from now.
When Pence was asked about the Porter scandal earlier this week, he said he had only just learned about the story and tried to avoid addressing it.
“We’ll comment on any issues affecting White House staff when we get back to Washington,” he said. One reporter asked why Pence “often seem[s] a little bit out of the loop of some of this major news.”
“You know, it’s a great honor for me to serve as vice president,” Pence responded.
It is the same sort of self-serving language Pence employed when Trump campaign connections to Russia operatives were verified, and Pence then insisted it had all taken place before he joined the ticket.
