Sherrod Brown Faces Heat For Assault Allegations From Ex-Wife

[Swordsmyth]

The PAC #MeTooOhio is hammering incumbent Democratic senator Sherrod Brown for the assault accusations leveled against him by his ex-wife in court documents.
Ohio lieutenant governor Mary Taylor has called for Sherrod Brown (http://www.dispatch.com/news/20180917/rob-portman-assails-democrats-on-kavanaugh-disclosure) to resign from the Senate.
“Now, Senator Sherrod Brown is facing his own #MeToo moment from his past. These court records show sworn evidence that Brown’s ex-wife accused him of abusing her. She said Brown assaulted her. A judge had to issue a restraining order,” the PAC’s ad states.
Brown is running to keep his seat in November against insurgent Republican Jim Renacci.

Ohio's Republican lieutenant governor renewed her call for Sen. Sherrod Brown to resign in the wake of court records (https://dailycaller.com/2018/09/13/sherrod-brown-abuse-me-too-moment/) that purport alleged spousal abuse (https://www.dispatch.com/news/20180913/jim-renacci-rips-sherrod-brown-for-domestic-abuse-senators-ex-wife-refutes-claim) and at least one restraining order filed against him by his now-ex-wife.
Ed Henry reported that Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor leads a "#MeToo"-type group that has been pressing for Brown (D-Ohio) to be held accountable, as the Democratic #MeToo proponents have called for similar actions in relation to allegations against Justice Brett Kavanaugh.

"The Democrats have to end this hypocrisy," Taylor said on "The Story."
Brown currently leads Republican Rep. Jim Renacci by 16 points in the race for Senate, according to the RealClearPolitics polling average (https://realclearpolitics.com/epolls/2018/senate/oh/ohio_senate_renacci_vs_brown-6331.html).
"[Democrats] are OK with certain things as long as it's defending the right person," Taylor said, adding that it is hypocritical for Brown to fight against Kavanaugh's nomination.
Taylor said there are court records that show Brown has been the subject of court filings involving abuse from his ex-wife, Larke Recchie.

Ohio Democratic senator Sherrod Brown reportedly stands accused of making an “unwanted advance” against a woman, according to a statement from a lawyer representing the woman. The advance allegedly occurred in the 1980’s.
This scandal, paired with the domestic abuse allegation that Brown’s ex-wife made, puts the Ohio incumbent in a tough position with voters ahead of November’s election. The claims are highlighted by one important detail: both the new accuser and Brown’s ex-wife accuse the senator of pushing them against a wall.
Cincinnati.com reports: (https://www.cincinnati.com/story/news/politics/2018/10/19/ohio-senate-race-sherrod-brown-accused-unwanted-advance-against-woman-80-s-brown-threate/1693877002/)
Late Thursday night, an attorney released a statement on behalf of one of the women.
In the statement, Canton, Ohio area attorney Laura Mills described a sexual encounter her client had with Brown in the late 1980s. Brown was Ohio’s Secretary of State at the time and the unnamed woman had met Brown in the course of her work.
According to Mills, Brown pushed her client up against a wall.
“She described an unexpected, uninvited, unwanted, and sudden advance, roughly pushing her up against a wall,” Mills said in the statement. “It did stop after she expressed dismay and very firmly pulled away, explaining that was not her style nor why she was there. He then said he remembered what she had on the day they had met some time earlier and that he had been attracted to her.” ..

What goes around comes around, maybe he should have defended Kavanaugh against the ambush with 30 year old charges.
