Delaware senator Tom Carper admitted to slapping his wife in a 1998 interview with a veteran political journalist in the state, confirming an accusation he denied when first running for Congress.

*snip*

"Did I slap my wife 20 years ago? Yes," Carper said. "Do I regret it? Yes. Would I do it again? No."

Didn’t some comedian address that in part of his stand-up act in the mid/late 60’s? And I think 50 Shades addressed it in a more serious-and creepy-way.

Good question....we should ask Gloria Steinem who gave men a free grope.

Maybe one slap falls under her notion of “equality” between the sexes.

I personally am SHOCKED that the press “forgot” to mention Carper’s a Democrat.

Confusing story. It is hard to keep track of Carper’s various wives and their husbands.

Delaware is no longer a competitive state for the GOP thanks to the hard-left leaning New Castle County (Wilmington). It shouldn’t even be a state at this point with 3 small counties. Give it to Maryland.

At this pace the Democrats won’t have any male congressmen or senators left by next year. I know Carper’s “admission” of hitting his wife is part of the larger plan of the Democrats to show they punish sexual harassers unlike the GOP who support harassers like the president. In the process they’ve shown quite the opposite. It’s their party filled with Neanderthal males who treat women like trash, and have been getting away with it for years!

Me either-but I do remember a Richard Pryor routine about that sort of thing-it was un PC and hilarious-he’d be dragged before a firing squad by feminazis for it today...

Carper is up for reelection in 2018, lets hang the wife beater tag around his neck. He is actually guilty of it since he admitted his crimes and we have proof unlike with Moore.

I bet he beats his children too. We need to talk to them. Most wife beaters beat their children too right?

Doesn’t he have to resign?

" At this pace the Democrats won’t have any male congressmen or senators left by next year."

Luckily, FReepeer dowcast insightfully knows know Carper’s “admission” of hitting his wife is part of the larger plan of the Democrats to show they punish sexual harassers unlike the GOP who support harassers like the president.

Me, too-I keep hoping for comedy like that to return-comedy isn’t funny unless everything and everyone is fair game-no protected class/group-PC ruins that...
