Help President Trump Stop Joe Biden [ACT NOW]
According to recent polling, Democrat Senate candidate Mark Kelly leads Republican Martha McSally by anywhere between three to seven points in Arizona.
Persuading the famous astronaut to run for office instantly became a major recruiting coup for Democrats.
It’s unclear if Senate Democrats knew at the time about an odd court request Kelly made a decade ago — a request that could damage his standing with suburban women.

Kelly petitioned a Texas court to put his ex-wife behind bars for six months in 2010 after she moved closer to the couple’s children without notifying him. Kelly also recommended ten years of supervised release for her following his proposed six-month jail sentence.
The Washington Free Beacon’s Alana Goodman reports:
The court records from Galveston County, Texas—which include recriminations from both sides and detail a lengthy custody dispute—show that Kelly claimed his ex-wife Amy’s move was a violation of their custody agreement.
The documents, which include a temporary restraining order issued against Kelly in 2004, appear to contradict his description of the divorce as “amicable” in his 2011 autobiography. The order was never served, according to Kelly’s campaign.
The former couple faced off in court a year earlier after Kelly accused his ex-wife of moving to a nearby town in Texas without giving him proper notice.
Kelly, who is locked in a tight Senate race against Republican Martha McSally, said then that his ex-wife violated their custody agreement because her new home was a few miles outside the school district where they had been sending their children, and she had neglected to give him 60 days notice of the move or get his consent. He asked the court to imprison her in the county jail for six months, the maximum penalty for contempt.
Kelly eventually dropped his request without explanation.

Help President Trump Stop Joe Biden [ACT NOW]
What a crock of crap; this sounds so old, so distorted and so blown out of proportion. Since when do husband get to recommend prison sentences for their wives; what BS
That’s the liberal left for you!
It might be OLD & DISTORTED but wasn’t the BS about Kavanaugh & Trump on the Billy Bush tape OLD & DISTORTED too?
He was astronaut…but shows his level of hate…..
The problem that I have with Mark Kelly is that he and his wife Gabby Giffords have not been at all honest about their stance on gun control after the horrible shooting that killed her supporters and horribly injured Gabby. It wasn’t a random shooting. Jerrod Laughner purchased a new handgun with the express purpose of shooting her. He was an unpaid Democrat campaign worker who worked for her and was upset because she would not hire him as a paid campaign worker. He had had numerous violent outbursts in prior months and years which was known by all. His mother worked for the Sheriff of the County, personally and had for some time, so he did not report Jerrod’s mental problems to the Federal Firearms Data Base as he was required to do. Thus when Jerrod Laughner sought to purchase the new firearm, it went right through as there was no derogatory information had been reported. He should have been stopped! It was not a failure of gun control laws, but a failure of public officials to follow those laws as to reporting. The Sheriff has never been charged. This whole Mark Kelly campaign is disingenuous at best, as he.
Also his pit bull killed a baby sea lion at Laguna beach in 2013; even made the news. video shows him leading the dog away with no concern for the sea lion whatsoever The man is garbage.
Good stuff. This guy’s halo is on fire.
What a clASS act this guy is.
A class guy cannot be called a Democrat? A Democrat cannot be called a class guy ? He’s not taking my gun from me ?
Give him your gun, just make sure it is empty when you do.
yes, give him the bullets FIRST..that way there will be no need to give him your gun !
Liberals war on women still rockin’ along. A real clASSY act.
When his former astronauts didn’t endorse Kelly I figured he wasn’t someone we want in congress. Typical demorat Don’t get your way throw a fit.
A very interesting tell. It is a very small fraternity (given the scale of humanity). When they refuse to support a comrade, it should be the kiss of death.
I guess the people of AZ ignored that piece of information.
Kelly is a one time space cadet that really needs to be sent for anger manage rehab. He is trying to get elected to the senate because of his wifes injury by a mad man with a gun several years ago. He should be ashamed of trying this just because of her injury and believe me it is the only reason and he wants to play on peoples sympathy to get elected. This is a sorry way to do this by using her as a pawn in his greed to be accepted. Should he be elected I can promise you that he will cast her aside like an old rag when all those pushy women in Washington start hanging on him. Looks like sexual greed to me.
We have friends in AZ. They suspected he would win with alot of sympathy votes.
All I know is that we need Martha McSally In the United States Senate!
now you can see with what you are dealing with ,Kelly is no good ,and surly not good for Arizona government he is a power hungry libturd who thinks and acts that he is law ,and above the law ,and the citizen’s is a Big RED FLAG in your face ,once in office for the state ,and people of Arizona it will not be pretty .Take heed !!! to this ,and open your eyes!!! shut this libturd down now!!!
Why wasn’t he exposed before today?
His ex-wife moved to a town near the town where he and their children live so he wants her put in jail for six months??? Is living near him a crime? Does he own the whole state? What a piece of garbage he is, asking that the mother of his children be jailed because she moved somewhere without getting HIS permission.
I could care less about Kelly’s spat with his ex-wife. I’m far more concerned about pollution of the Arizona voting pool by Kalifornia transplants. This is the reason the race is so narrow and why the voters there are on the cusp of sending two democrats to the senate for the first time in decades.
We used to love the state of AZ. No more!
They went stupid, plus got infiltrated by libs who retired there. The actual residents lost their way!
I’m sorry for what happened to Gabby, but, she started out as a Republican, I believe. Then went Independent and ultimately joined the dark side.
The people of AZ have no idea what they’re in for.
Good luck with that. Fools!
Kelly joins the league of Dems out to rule…take power…get rich and screw everyone else who works hard, follows rules and doesn’t CHEAT! What upsets me most about this election are those who blatenly CHEAT for their own gain. It pains me to think what these people will do to our country. I’m praying big time that God shed his grace on America and that this nightmare has a positive ending. GO TRUMP, secure the government and carry on draining the swamp!
What B.S
THIS race is being STOLEN too!!! Kelly seems like a wife-beater! Let’s face it, he has NO PROBLEM working for the SAME PEOPLE who had his current wife SHOT!!! For those who haven’t caught on yet, Gabby Giffords and Judge John Roll were ‘hit’ by the Deep State Globalists!!
More like an Astro-Nut.
