Abuse allegations against Senate candidate Parnell put Republicans on edge in Pennsylvania
Everything in Pennsylvania's Republican Senate primary was pointing in Sean Parnell's direction.
Parnell, a decorated former Army Ranger-turned-author and frequent Fox News guest who launched his Senate bid in May after he narrowly lost a House race in 2020, won former President Donald Trump's endorsement in September, becoming the early front-runner in a critical race for GOP hopes of taking back the Senate.
But accusations of domestic violence exploded into public view this month during custody hearings in state family court, threatening to damage his candidacy.
Seeking primary custody of the couple's children in divorce proceedings, Parnell's estranged wife, Laurie Snell, testified under oath before a judge about abuse she says she and occasionally their children endured. Parnell took the stand this week to forcefully deny her accusations. Still, her testimony, according to six sources who spoke with NBC News, has put Republicans on edge.

I'm sure the abuse allegations are a feature not a bug in GOP circles.
