Connecticut Republican drops out of congressional race on primary day after arrest
By Morgan Gstalter - 08/11/20 01:33 PM EDT

A Republican running for Congress in Connecticut dropped out of the race Tuesday — hours before polls opened for the state’s primary — after he was arrested over a violent encounter with an ex-girlfriend.

Thomas Gilmer, the GOP’s endorsed candidate, was arrested late Monday night, according to a statement from Wethersfield Police. He was charged with first-degree unlawful restraint and second-degree strangulation and released after posting a $5,000 bond.

Authorities were first contacted July 22 regarding a possible domestic assault and subsequently opened an investigation. The Hartford Courant reported Tuesday that the charges against Gilmer allegedly stem from a violent altercation with a former girlfriend.

By the quote in the OP, the assault on the ex-GF, if it happened, may have been less than 3 weeks ago.

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

PA
My early effort with local politics, involved agreement to be Treasurer for a PAC supporting two city council candidates.

One dropped out with accusations he sought to benefit from the position he might win.

The other won, but was arrested, convicted and served time Fed in Prison for fraud. Her husband divorced her. (I think he was in on it, too.
