Primaries: Diversity ruled as voters hit the polls in four states. Christine Hallquist, winner of Vermont’s Democratic gubernatorial primary, is a step closer to becoming that nation’s first transgender governor. And Ilhan Omar, a Somali-American woman, won the Democratic nod for a House seat in Minnesota. That state’s ex-governor, Tim Pawlenty, won’t be getting his old job back, though, after he lost the GOP primary.
White House: Press Secretary Sarah Sanders says she “can’t guarantee” there’s not a tape out there with President Trump using the N-word (!!!), but she said she’s never heard him say it.
Paul Manafort: Closing arguments start this morning in the trial of President Trump’s ex-campaign chairman after the defense rested its case without calling a single witness.
West Virginia: Lawmakers in the Mountain State did something that might be a first in US history: impeach an entire state Supreme Court.
(Only in) Florida politics: Melissa Howard, a state House candidate who faked a college diploma, is getting out of the race.
This one is very disturbing, and you may not want to read it first thing in the morning. But it’s incredibly important. A new grand jury report out of Pennsylvania says more than 300 “predator priests” have been credibly accused of sexually abusing more than 1,000 child victims. The report shines light on abuses dating back to the 1940s in Catholic dioceses in Allentown, Erie, Greensburg, Harrisburg, Pittsburgh and Scranton. The details are horrific and paint a picture of church officials far more interested in protecting themselves and the Catholic Church’s image than helpless children.
The cases in the report will sicken and anger you: A Harrisburg priest raped a 7-year-old girl in the hospital after her tonsils were taken out. A priest in Allentown got a recommendation to work at Disney World, even after it was discovered he’d abused several boys. Most cases are too old to be prosecuted, though charges have been filed against a few priests. The most infuriating part? We’ll never really know just how many children were hurt by this. “We believe that the real number of children whose records were lost or who were afraid ever to come forward is in the thousands,” the report says.
