State rep. criticized over domestic violence comments
Warden says some people 'like being in abusive relationships'

State Rep. Mark Warden, R-Manchester, suggested that some people like being in abusive relationships during a hearing on a bill that could affect domestic violence laws in New Hampshire.

"Some people could make the argument that a lot of people like being in abusive relationships," he said. "It's a love-hate relationship."

The comments were caught on tape by liberal group Granite State Progress, one of the groups that has since demanded an apology. Some victims' advocates said they want more than that.
