The Republican primary for governor turned toxic Monday night as a woman publicly accused James Comer of physical abuse in 1991 and Comer's running mate assailed Hal Heiner's campaign for its contact with a blogger who had been posting about the alleged assault for months.
Comer on Monday night denied the allegation of abuse in an interview with the Herald-Leader, saying he would hold a press conference on Tuesday "to prove this is the worst political dirty trick in Kentucky history."
Just minutes into a debate among the GOP candidates for lieutenant governor, state Sen. Chris McDaniel blasted KC Crosbie, who is running with Heiner, for her association with Lexington blogger Michael Adams.
Adams has for the last several months run an online campaign accusing Comer of assaulting Marilyn Thomas, of New York City.
