BROWARD COUNTY, Fla. -- Florida GOP officials find themselves in an unusual position after they learned that a newly elected member of the Broward County executive board was once charged with attempted murder in connection with the brutal claw hammer attack of a female classmate at his California prep school.

That member informed Broward County GOP chairman Bob Sutton about Tarsey’s past over the Labor Day weekend.

2. He nearly killed her

He hit her over 40 times with a sledge hammer. Split her head open, broke her leg and nose. He pled guilty to a misdemeanor. A fucking misdemeanor. When will the courts take violent attacks on women seriously?
