If Mark didn’t talk about the realtionship, then who did? One of the two others involved did.
How would anyone know unless Mark was doing a Wilbur Mills number?
Odd turn of phrase Mark used in the broadcast...”digging up dirt on him”.
No dirt, no foul.
Wish him and his bride to be much happiness and may his heart rest easy.
Considering the vitriol I have witnessed, not only are candidates fair game, anyone publicly supporting a candidate is fair game as well. In that sense “digging up dirt” does not seem to be an odd phrase IMHO.
The sad thing is it will get worse.
