First, let me say that what you just said is a very good rebuttal to the article in question, don’t get me wrong.
I’m just TIRED of having to apologize for every candidate I support. I’m just whining about the baggage. Again, what you said is a very good rebuttal, and I’d probably use it myself, but it doesn’t address every single point in the article.
For example, is it true that he was violent with his past 2 wives? Is it even true that he HAD 2 wives previously? Did he try to join the Border Patrol before his Minuteman efforts?
These are all questions that quite frankly, while may be “puffed up” by some leftist hack journalist, aren’t necessarily complete fabrications. After all, if they were/are, then Mr. Simcox has a pretty good case for libel against whoever wrote that piece.
Yes, he definitely has been married twice before, and his second wife filed court petitions for full custody of their son because he was acting so erratically and was dangerous.
The Southern Povery Law Center (which hates him, of course), posted a bunch of legal documents about him on their website a long time ago. Disregard the article - it’s all their biased crap. But the documents are court documents.
