Sen. Claire McCaskill’s horrible, terrible, no-good, very bad week last week seems to be extending into this week.

Take a look …

Abuse allegations surface against Claire McCaskill's husband https://t.co/BabgzHAoAz

See what we mean?

From the Washington Examiner:

The Daily Caller obtained a police report which shows that McCaskill’s husband, Joseph Shepard, allegedly committed gross domestic violence against his previous wife, Susan Shepard. Shepard, who has received hundreds of millions of dollars in federal subsidies since McCaskill joined the Senate in 2007, is no stranger to controversy, but this latest report seems devastating at first glance.

In the police report, Susan wrote that her former husband beat her breasts as she recovered from breast cancer surgery, tripped her, pushed her, slapped her, and urinated on her. Susan also alleges that her daughter once called the cops on Joseph after he hit her, an easily verifiable fact.

Yikes.

Of course, Democrats have recently shown themselves willing to believe accusations based on much less. But with Shepard’s daughter potentially providing corroboration with the phone call she supposedly made at the time, her mother’s version of events is both credible and provable.
