Let us not forget that before Donald Trump endorsed Mehmet Oz, his first endorsement in the PA Senate race was this scumbag.
Welcome to what is the 1127th original profile here at “Fanatical Republican Extremist of the Day”, where we’ll be profiling Sean Parnell, a 2022 candidate for U.S. Senate in Pennsylvania, who was the original candidate in that race who won the endorsement of failed coup-plotter and all around incompetent moron, Donald Trump. But, as is so frequently the case… Trump’s favored the guy who just happened to allegedly abuse his wife and children. ALLEGEDLY. (Weird how this happens so much with Trump’s picks, huh?)
In 2021, Parnell was arguing before a judge trying to get the records of his child custody hearing with his wife sealed, arguing it was for his children’s privacy. The problem was within the same two years, he was in court arguing that he should be allowed to post photos of himself with his kids for promotional purposes… so it’s a bit odd that he wanted to selectively toggle the “privacy” switch depending on how much it benefited him in the specific moment.
So the records came out, and… yeah, it’s pretty clear why he didn’t want the public hearing about it:
While we find all of that abhorrently disturbing, we think that a lot of Republican primary voters would give him a pass on everything except maybe openly discussing him pressuring a woman to get an abortion. Surprise, Parnell claims he was “pro-life”, and referred to abortion as “infanticide”, so he’s just a hypocrite.
When the story hit, Politico also noted Parnell’s literary career seems to feature some graphic scenes of violence towards women that almost play out like a power fantasy. Hmm… how odd.
Parnell announced he was running in May of 2021, and by November of 2021, he acknowledged there was no path to victory with his wife’s court testimony about him roughing her and the kids up in the public consciousness, and dropped out of the race, leaving Donald Trump to give his endorsement instead to Mehmet Oz.
We’re hoping this will be the only time we have to mention Sean Parnell, and look forward to John Fetterman stomping Dr. Oz’s *ss into a mudhole at the polls in November.
