Now, as the Republican front-runner in the race for a California U.S. Senate seat, Garvey has avoided detailed policy positions, instead relying on his name recognition and clean-cut image. His campaign website describes him as a ā€œtrue role model,ā€ he praised the partyā€™s value of ā€œpersonal responsibilityā€ in a recent interview, and he called in an op-ed to ā€œrestore moral integrity in Congress.ā€

But the reality of Garveyā€™s life is more complex. The 75-year-old has struggled with debt, been repeatedly sued, faced a bitter divorce, and got two women pregnant before quickly marrying a third woman, his current wife, in a scandal that briefly made him a national punchline in 1989. He pledged in interviews at the time to take ā€œmoral and financial responsibilityā€ for the children.

    Holy god thatā€™s by far the worst one. Still the same gaping chasm of moral vacancy, but he looks younger and more vigorous, more capable with his greedy darkness.

    (Edit: Itā€™s Joe Manchin, a totally different crooked rich white guy who gets away with everything)

      I believe thatā€™s Micheal Flynn. The Q spouting bullshitter that plead guilty to lying to the FBI about colluding with Russia.
