showing one was an upstanding person only to find out the person inside was totally different? it s nothing new. it happens to all of us all the time. as a young assistant d.a. i started the first domestic violence unit in a prosecutor s office in the nation. i fought on behalf of all victims. but my crusade was for the battered woman. the women shot, stabbed, beaten and brutalized by the very men who said they loved them. this week white house staff secretary rob porter turned out to be someone whose cover is different than the content of his character. porter is accused of physically assaulting both of his ex-wife. the uproar was predictable. how can someone who works in the oval office and walks with the president be a batterer?
