The wife of one of Michigan’s most vocal Republican state government culture warriors has accused the legislator of a years-long pattern of domestic physical and emotional abuse, the Detroit News reports. The wife of first-term state legislator Bob Bezotte alleges in her divorce filing that the Army veteran and one-time county sheriff practiced a pattern of “mental, emotional and physical abuse” that lasted “throughout the [50] years of marriage.”
One of the sponsors of a 2022 bill that would ban drag shows in the state because its sponsors claimed, drag queens are morally reprehensible individuals set on destroying the family unit and corrupting children, the alleged wife beater recently hired the husband of the judge hearing his divorce case to be his attorney, a move likely designed to get a woman off the bench for this divorce case as well as a way to further delay the proceedings, in which Bezotte is expected to lose a significant portion of his wealth and future pensions.
