Democratic New York State Senate Candidate Accused of Hitting Ex-Wife
© 2018 Gizmodo Media Group ^ | 10/03/18 | Prachi Gupta

A woman has come forward with allegations that her ex-wife, a New York State Senate candidate, verbally and physically abused her..

Brandi Morgan, 36, alleges that Amanda Kirchgessner, 34, the Democratic candidate for New York’s 58th Senate district, repeatedly threw objects at her; threatened to strangle her; pushed and grabbed her, and threatened to kill her animals if she left their marriage....

Morgan and Kirchgessner were married from 2008 until 2016. She had taken Kirchgessner’s name, but changed it back after the divorce was finalized. She says that their relationship changed in 2011, after Kirchgessner was charged with driving while intoxicated. “She kept drinking and driving, and I felt like I was her mom,” Morgan said. “We just became very resentful of each other after that.” Morgan says that the relationship became physically abusive in 2014....

A domestic incident report filed with the New York State Police indicates that Morgan “stated screaming for help out the window, when [Kirchgessner] grabbed her and pushed her away from the window. [Morgan] and [Kirchgessner] both called 911.” The report indicated that neither had injuries, and Morgan declined to press charges or make a statement.

Morgan recalls a different version of events. “I wanted her arrested. I showed them the bruise that she left on my arm,” she said. The police urged her not to pursue charges, though, she says, because Kirchgessner would be released within hours.

Public Information Officer Aga Dembinska of the New York State Police confirmed the incident report.

I'm surre the candidate's fellow NYS Democrats Cuomo, Schumer, Gillibrand, etc., will immediately disavow her, call on people to vote for the republican "to preserve the integrity of the process," and say they believe the victim.

With her and the fake immigrant-Jew it seems like the Progs have a really winning batch.

Having had to deal with a highly combative ex-wife until my kids reached the age of 18, I can relate.

Highly relevant:

With several Democrat candidates being charged with violent assault, the Democrats Party is obligated to believe the victims who are bringing these suits. These victims are actually presenting evidence to back up their claim of injuries suffered, certainly more credible than Ford, Ramirez and Slutnik.

The woman who got beat up by Keith Ellison was told she would need video evidence for it to be believed.

So where are all the “women always tell the truth” protestors now?

We must “always believe the women”.

I am in a serious quandary.

“...repeatedly threw objects at her; threatened to strangle her; pushed and grabbed her, and threatened to kill her animals...”

Sounds like Hillary Clinton, behind closed doors.

“Ms Amanda do you still beat your ex wife?” no MSM will ask.

The police urged her not to pursue charges, though, she says, because Kirchgessner would be released within hours.

That requires an investigation.
