From Ultraviolet:
Richard Black, a candidate for Congress in Virginia, thinks that spousal rape should not be a crime.
( Under cut for trigger warnings of victim blaming and rape )
To National Republican Campaign Committee:
It is dangerous to allow Congressional candidates to condone marital rape, which is a very serious instance of domestic violence. We are calling on you to denounce Richard Black's comments and demand that he apologize."
Things like this are a major reason why the Republican party is slowing digging themselves a grave. Get the fuck away from these douches! I would feel the same way towards any candidate, of any party and political persuasion that harbored this sick view.
