Trump-backed Pa. Senate candidate suspends his campaign after losing custody battle
Sean Parnell has suspended his campaign to represent Pennsylvania in the U.S. Senate, after a court order made public on Monday granted the Republican's estranged wife sole legal custody and primary physical custody of the pair's three children.
Parnell's wife, Laurie Snell, has accused him of a litany of abuses, ranging from choking her and striking one of their children, to trying to convince her to have an abortion when she was six months pregnant, according to media reports.
NPR member station WESA reports that during a custody hearing, Parnell emphatically denied those allegations. When shown a picture that purportedly showed a handprint-like welt on his son's back, Parnell responded: "That is not a picture of my son."
Both Parnell and Snell had sought sole custody of the three children. The judge found that Parnell was the "less credible" witness, according to the Washington Post.

GOP family values!
I'm hoping for John Fetterman, but Conor Lamb would be just as good. These sleazy useless Repukes are just an embarrassment to our state, am I right? I can't wait to see the end of Pat Toomey.
Let's get out the vote and get another Democrat in the Senate!
