Galveston Republican: Should you resign for beating your wife?

The Galveston County Republican Party has a decision to make. Should they tolerate a republican District Clerk for assaulting his wife or turn the other cheek (literally) ? From the Houston Chronicle:

Galveston County District Clerk Jason Murray pleaded guilty Tuesday to assault on a family member for an incident earlier this month.

Murray struck his wife, Mekisha Jane Murray, bloodying her nose, as they sat in an SUV in a Houston parking lot after a Christmas party Dec. 8, according to court records.

A few months ago the Galveston Republican Party ousted their chairman for unknown reasons and yet here they have an elected official who has pleaded guilty to assaulting his wife and they have said nothing.

Says a lot about the teabag party of Galveston County.
