Oh, and speaking of “Family Values” and how dumb those brainwashed Xtians are who let slime like this get into office…

The White House knew about the domestic violence episodes checkering the Shanahan family past for months and went ahead with acting Defense Secretary Patrick Shanahan’s pre-confirmation process anyway, according to NBC News.

Shanahan withdrew from the process on Tuesday after details started leaking out of a violent altercation between him and his ex-wife which resulted in her arrest, and another episode where his 17-year-old son beat his ex-wife with a baseball bat so badly that he fractured her skull.

Haven’t heard that Shanahan committed any acts of violence himself. This is all a very sad family situation but, so far, bears no resemblance to the Rob Porter case. Shanahan doesn’t have the needed qualifications for the position and didn’t deserve confirmation, but should this particular history be disqualifying?
