State Senate Candidate Kirchgessner accused of domestic violence (D-NY)
Ithaca Times ^ | 10/02/18 | Matt Butler

Posted on 10/03/2018 7:16:37 AM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

Amanda Kirchgessner, a progressive Democratic candidate contending for a seat in the New York State Senate representing the 58th District, has been accused of several instances of domestic violence and abuse during their marriage.

Kirchgessner’s ex-wife, Brandi Morgan, has told the Ithaca Times that Kirchgessner participated in a pattern of abusive behavior during the latter years of their marriage, which officially ended in 2016. The allegations include grabbing, pushing, throwing objects, verbal abuse, intimidation and possible threats against Morgan and their pets....

Morgan has chosen to come forward and gave the Ithaca Times permission to use her name despite her status as a survivor of domestic violence. She presented evidence of the abuse through tape recordings, pictures, a police report and blog posts from the time period. People familiar with the couple at the time have also independently corroborated to the Ithaca Times what Morgan told them throughout the later course of the marriage about Kirchgessner’s conduct.

Will Kristin Gillibrand, Chuck Schumer, Andrew Cuomo and other NYS Democrats stand with Kirchgessner or her victim?

Sounds like the accuser has a good bit of evidence.

they’ll call for an investigation which will last beyond the election, and support her “until the facts” come out. Watch.

If this abuse occurred thirty six years ago with sketchy evidence then I say Kirchgessner would be in trouble. Since the abuse happened recently and the victim has provided plenty of physical evidence including tape recordings, pictures and a police report it means Kirchgessner will walk. It’s how the RATS roll in 2018. Just ask Keith Ellison!

Surprised they named his party affiliation in the lede. They usually reveal it halfway into the story.

According to Gillibrand, just the accusation is proof of guilt.
