Judge grants firebrand Democratic congressman's wife a restraining order after he allegedly pushed her to the ground... as she claims he also beat their children
A Florida judge has slapped Democratic congressman Alan Grayson with a restraining order after his estranged wife complained that he had battered her over the weekend and said she feared for her safety and the safety of their two smallest children.
Lolita Grayson's sworn complaint says the congressman 'showed up, unannounced' as she was preparing to take the two young children to a play date and asked to speak with her inside their house.
When she refused, according to a sheriff's office document, he 'deliberately and with force pushed [Lolita] very hard against the front door, causing [her] to fall to the ground as a result.'
After telling her husband not to touch her, Lolita said, she pushed him in the face and struck him in the stomach with her knee 'in order to protect and defend herself,' then called 911.

Only be loyal to policies. Personalities will almost always let you down.

(75,480 posts)Security, who talked of the need of feeding and educating our children. They seems to be real liberals and maybe are but whatever good they set out to accomplish, they blow up with their flawed personal lives. I'm disappointed. If it turns out that my other hero Barbara Boxer, is a mommie dearest, I give up.
