Puzder's ex-wife defends Labor nominee against abuse allegations

The ex-wife of Labor Secretary nominee Andy Puzder is privately telling senators that she made a mistake decades ago in leveling domestic abuse charges against him and appearing in disguise on Oprah Winfrey's TV show to talk about her situation.

In a deeply personal and emotional letter to senators and obtained by CNN, Puzder's ex-wife Lisa Fierstein said she regrets the decisions she made decades ago as the two struggled with their marriage. She contended that she received bad advice from an attorney with a political "vendetta" when she pressed charges in the 1980s -- and that she was a guest on Winfrey's show in part because she wanted to go on a trip to Chicago. "What we should have handled in a mature and private way became a contentious and ugly public divorce," Fierstein said to members of the Senate Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee, of her ex-husband, who heads the parent company of Hardee's and Carl's Jr.

TBP :" The left continues to practice teh politics of personal destruction.

The DEM/LIBs seem to think that marital discord
from almost three decades ago is relevant
but rhey ignore the criminality of just 8 months ago !
Go figure !

Oprah Winfrey or someone on her staff leaked this.
Divorce proceedings are NOT public record.

The media/opposition research found out about illegal immigrant hire and ex wife interview on Oprah show?
