Kari Lake, still a cunt

Newly unsealed divorce records reveal U.S. Senate hopeful Ruben Gallego petitioned to end his marriage with Phoenix Mayor Kate Gallego in 2016.

The nearly year-long court battle to have those records unsealed has hovered over the Democratic congressman’s campaign for an open Senate seat in Arizona, as well as his ex-wife’s own campaign for reelection in Phoenix.

The partially redacted documents show Gallego claimed in December 2016 the marriage was “irretrievably broken.” Both Ruben and Kate Gallego acknowledged in court filings that there was no domestic violence during their marriage – language required to be included in all divorces involving a child in Arizona – while also agreeing to a plan to co-parent their son.

Both parents, the court found, recognized “the love, devotion and dedication of the other to the minor child,” according to the records.

One divorce lawyer in Arizona described the filings as an amicable split by the couple. Even Yavapai County Superior Court Judge John Napper, who ordered the documents unsealed, has described the case as “one of the most garden variety divorce files I have ever seen.”

That reality is a far cry from what Gallego’s GOP rival in the race, Kari Lake, has hyped as an explosive and potentially damaging revelation less than a month before the election.

In a joint statement released after the documents were unsealed, Ruben and Kate Gallego demanded an apology from Lake, who ran ads deriding the Arizona congressman as a “deadbeat dad” who “abandoned his family” shortly before Kate Gallego gave birth to their son.

“We demand an apology from Kari Lake for lying about our family and the circumstances of our divorce,” the Gallegos said. “She will stop at nothing to score a cheap political point – even if it meant endangering the privacy and well-being of our young son.”

Does anyone remember if former poster, BMW, made a prediction in this race?

Sorry but I don't remember if he did or not. I don't think Lake will win though.

I don't much cotton to the "C" word, but in Lake's case it's entirely appropriate.
