Better title would be "politician publicly admits being abusive to wife".

The files are still being redacted and manipulated to only include liberals. I am aure Trumps name will just disappear.

Woah woah... I figured this was not the original title and i was right!

He plans to "no longer" shout at his wife. Not, "not".

He was already going ham on her. He is just gonna scale it back now that Charlie Kirk is dead.

Ah shout , I read that as shoot and didnt even sound weird in any way.

That's what they all say. They always go back to abuse, especially shitheads like him.

I hate the guy but was what he said here really that bad? He didn't imply he regularly yells at her, just that she couldn't say he never raised his voice. But hey, close enough, right? Run the story!

The Daily Beast loves to make mountains out of molehills. Gotta be the worst popular outlet on the left

You're getting down voted, but this one is an echo chamber. I agree, his actual statements are about reflecting on being imperfect.

Articles like these give ammunition to claims that "the left exaggerates everything".

YES. We get nothing but a small endorphin hit for stooping to their level of "journalism"

[–] SaveTheTuaHawk@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Both sides exaggerate everything.

Yeah, like where some people were exaggerating that if elected Trump would start concentration camps, disregard the rule of law, destroy American alliances and brown nose Putin. ... Oh wait.
