How is it we get so many truly shitty people getting nominated and even winning office. Twenty years ago people like Walker, Warnok and Fetterman whose baggage became or was public knowledge (Not even mentioning Trump) wouldn't have gotten 5% of the vote in a primary. That's on us.

edit. Well those not named Kennedy or Byrd.

I agree , I still say if we dump the party system and just let people vote for the best person available things would get better, we could weed out some of the shit.

Hadn't heard that one, I was referring him trying to run over his ex-wife with a car.

Incident with his then-wife

The incident involving Warnock’s then-estranged wife occurred in Atlanta in March and made news a week later.

Warnock was married to Oulèye Ndoye; they divorced in May. Until July, Ndoye served on Atlanta Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms' executive team as the city’s senior human trafficking fellow.

Warnock called police to Ndoye’s Atlanta home shortly before 8:30 a.m. on March 2. According to a police report:

Warnock said Ndoye accused him of running over her left foot with his 2014 Tesla while they were arguing in her driveway. Ndoye was reluctant to show her foot to the officer, who wrote: "I did not see any signs that Ms. Ouleye’s foot was ran over." Medical personnel arrived and were "not able to locate any swelling, redness, or bruising or broken bones on Ms. Ouleye’s left foot."

Probably a smart move by Warnock to call the police from scene after the accusation so it could be documented in real time ... vs leaving scene and then its he said-she said.

Yeah but 30 years ago this would have been enough. He'll win though as his opponent isn't even on same planet when it comes to baggage.

I like how you phrased it, first thing I'm thinking is Warnock attempted to murder his wife with a car.

So disappointed to find out it was a he-said she-said and medical personnel didn't find any evidence that would indicate he ran over it.
