S.C. GOP Rep. Chris Corley arrested, charged with domestic violence

Another GOP deplorable. Maybe DT will find a job for him in his administration.

A bond has been set after S.C. Rep. Chris Corley was arrested after police say he assaulted his wife and pointed a handgun at her.

Corley, 36, who represents Graniteville in Aiken County in the South Carolina House of Representatives, was arrested Tuesday by the Aiken County Sheriff's Office.

Arrest warrants for Corley show he has been charged with first-degree domestic violence and pointing and presenting firearms at a person.

snip

Warrants state Corley, in the presence of an 8-year-old child, did "cause physical harm and injury" to the victim, by "striking her about the head and face with a closed fist and further did, after threatening to kill the victim, point a Smith & Wesson ... handgun at the victim causing her to fear for her life."

His wife caught him with a mistress.

The "we aren't racists" republiklan sent out a Christmas card with a Confederate flag on it to his coworkers. It read, in part:


May you take this joyous time as an opportunity to ask for forgiveness of your sins such as betrayal.

I hope his wife and kid get the help they need to get away from this guy and I hope he gets the help he needs to realize that domestic violence is scummy.
