Scott DesJarlais Approved Wife's Abortion, Slept With Coworkers, Patients, Court Records Say

WASHINGTON -- The anti-abortion, pro-family Tennessee congressman who pushed his patient and mistress to get an abortion also agreed that his wife should have two, according to court transcripts released Thursday.

Those documents, from GOP Rep. Scott DesJarlais' 2000 divorce proceedings, paint a lurid picture of a doctor who had multiple affairs with coworkers and patients -- at least one of whom he prescribed pain pills for -- while he was chief of staff at a local hospital.

The Huffington Post first reported that DesJarlais pressured one of his patients to abort a pregnancy that she said came from their flings. The doctor calls the 24-year-old a "psycho" in the transcript of his testimony. DesJarlais won reelection last week, even after reports surfaced that he had sex with other patients, and that he prescribed them pills. DesJarlais admitted the HuffPost report, but challenged the credibility of the later case.

It turns out it was all true, as well as reports that he denied during his 2010 campaign that he stuck a gun in his mouth for more than two hours, and threatened suicide after it became apparent he could not repair his marriage with his then-wife, Susan.

2. IOKIYAR...

...this shitstain won by over 11 points. Let's see how long the rushpublicans stand behind this sleezebag...a good indicator of if they learned anything on election night (clue: they haven't).

Of course if this had been a Democrat Bullshit Mountain would be raining this story down 24/7...except for an occasional break to amp up Benghazi again...

3. what part of Tenn is this maroon from?

Were his voters unaware of his history and disgusting behavior?
Or did he not have any opponents?

5. His main opponent was a pro-life Democrat

The vast majority of Voters in Tennessee vote according to what their preacher says.

And the preachers like DesJarlais - a bully and a creep - because most of the preachers are bullies and creeps.

We really need a GOTV movement in Tennessee, but the national Dems have given up on this state for good reason.

It's full of idiots.

I love where I live, and I love so many people here, but too many people do not vote at all here, they are so bored or disgusted with politics.
