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 “true role model,” he praised the party’s value of “personal responsibility” in a recent interview, and he called in an op-ed to “restore moral integrity in Congress.”
But the reality of Garvey’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 “moral and financial responsibility” for the children.
So he’s morally bankrupt, misogynistic, full of bluster, doesn’t know shit about finances, and has no ethics. Sounds like he’s perfect for the Senate.
Clean cut my ass. Anyone who thinks this shithead is fit for political office should be imprisoned as a lunatic.
I have this totally unreasonable belief that I can sometimes tell just from looking at someone that they’re an awful person.
Like an AI trained on nothing but old 700 Club reruns was asked to generate a politician.
Yup.
Holy god that’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.
