That last one isn’t needed. If you have a history of violence, mental illness is beside the point. We could argue that the second isn’t either, but society still has a real problem with seeing violence against women as violence.

When I saw this the other day I was yelling at the screen. Sure Joe, it’s only the most important election in our lifetimes, with the future of liberal democracy in America at stake, but let’s take a chance that voters will go easy on the constant screw-ups that define your true self.
