Late last month, The Daily Beast released a deeply disturbing report revealing that Colorado gubernatorial candidate Victor Marx spoke with a podcast host in 2021 and expressed disappointment that his wife had stopped combat training. He told the host his wife said she didn’t need the training because she had him to physically protect her.
Marx went on to tell the host that he physically assaulted his wife by “slamming” her into a door, in an effort to prove his point about her need for training:
And I remember grabbing her and slamming her into our front door. I mean, pretty… it was a decent push. It’d be a bouncer push, right? She hit that, bent over, and started crying, facing the opposite way.
Now, in a Zoom call with his supporters as he runs for Governor of Colorado, Marx not only addressed the fact that he openly admitted to physically assaulting his wife; he made it perfectly clear that he’d do it again in a heartbeat.
The clip of Marx’s comments made during the Zoom call was shared to social media by local Colorado 9NEws anchor Kyle Clark, who wrote in the caption of his post, “GOP Gov nominee Victor Marx told backers on a Zoom call last night that he doesn’t regret slamming his wife into a door to teach her a lesson about self-defense. ‘I’d do it again,’ Marx said. Marx says she fake cried and physicality is just the nature of their relationship.”
