Brad Parscale, a senior adviser to Donald Trump’s campaign who was involuntarily detained by police this weekend, said he is stepping away from the reelection effort and seeking help for what he called “overwhelming stress” on him and his family.

In a statement provided to POLITICO on Wednesday, Parscale’s wife, Candice, also denied that Parscale physically abused her, despite a police report which said she told authorities the contrary.

“The statements I made on Sunday have been misconstrued, let it be clear my husband was not violent towards me that day or any day prior,” she said.

Parscale, 44, was demoted as campaign manager in July as the president’s poll numbers cratered. Long one of Trump's closest aides, Parscale remained on the reelection effort in a limited capacity: He made trips from his home in Florida to the campaign’s Arlington, Va. headquarters and worked on digital projects, including producing videos for the Republican National Convention.

I hope she gets some help... domestic/emotional abuse is really hard for many women to escape from.

1. Yeah he only chased her out of the home with a loaded gun that he fired after she left.

8. Brad's white privilege.

Until she finds Krazy Glue at the dollar store. He'll have to sleep sometime.

Probation will be easy after he's out of the house.

2. Yeah sure....

[George II]

3. I'm sure there was LOTS of witness tampering involved with that.

4. Cover for I am not cooperating with the FBI

I am getting help and will go away to protective custody ... I mean rehab center...please respect my privacy and not look for me...

[flibbitygiblets]

5. So, he was "involuntarily detained by police" eh?

I didn't realize detention was optional.

7. he was bakered

my son got 30 days once, but they cut him loose cuz he refused meds. they didnt want to bother w him if he wouldnt take the drugs.
he had to get his sister to say he wouldnt hurt me. but she was the most worried that he would.
not exactly voluntary. but you only get 72 hrs on your first go round.

6. She said, with visible bruises on her face and arms.

There is a tragedy in motion. That shouldn't be.

[Evolve Dammit]

9. Exactly. How did you get those bruises, Ms. Parscale?

10. This

is so typical of domestic abuse victims, unfortunately. Some of them end up dead this way. Others end up killing their abusers. Some get out...eventually.

11. Trump brought back football

The cops were just doing a practice tackle.

[soothsayer]

12. Ugh

But as Parscale was thought to still be on the campaign to continue paying...Ivanka?... I wonder if that spigot will dry up. I can’t keep track of all their grift...

Hope so!

13. Did someone from RUMP people

Get to her? I bet so!!

[BigmanPigman]

14. She said he hit her and it was recorded.

You can see and hear her saying as clear as day that she got the marks from him. The cops recorded it. How can you deny that?!?

18. It's not "violence" or "physical abuse" when receiving loving guidance from one's servant-leader

husband, acting as the head of the family just like Jesus Christ is the head of the Church, or something like that, I guess.

[demmiblue]

19. Because she is an abused woman, and that is what many abused women do?

I am not going to judge her.

[jorgevlorgan]

15. I honestly hope the best for him and his wife

Mental health and domestic abuse issues are no joke, and this is a prime example of somebody struggling with that. My heart goes out to them.

[greenjar_01]

16. He's literally one of the worst human beings in the country

The number of people he's hurt is in the hundreds of thousands.

Just sayin'

[jorgevlorgan]

17. Sorry by "best," I mean I hope he doesn't hurt himself or others in this particular state that he's

in. That being said, I do hope justice plays out the way it should and he spends whatever time in jail he deserves. At the end of the day he's still human.

20. Yes, this is the guy that got blamed for the poor turnout at the Tulsa campaign rally on June 20

Much of the blame is falling on campaign manager Brad Parscale, who in the days leading up the event aggressively touted the number of registrations, but those close to him stress that his job is safe, for now.

Last month, after dismal polling revealed that the president is trailing the presumptive Democratic nominee, Joe Biden, in key battleground states that Trump won in 2016, Parscale was reprimanded and a deputy was brought in to help steer the ship.

22. Suddenly he imagines himself in prison for money laundering.

Then he goes berserk. When you work for the devil and do his dirty work, there is a price to pay.
