No one knows my heart better — or has seen more of the battles, the sacrifices, and the calling behind what I do,” he had written about his wife.Victor Marx responds to allegationsAmid the allegations, Marx put out a lengthy post on Facebook. He wrote "I want to address something very serious because accusations of abusing a wife or a child should never be treated casually.I have been accused of wife abuse and child abuse based on clips being circulated publicly.I reject those accusations.Tomorrow, I’m going to provide the context and show the full, unedited clip so people can hear what was actually said and see the circumstances for themselves.And frankly, this is one of the ugliest sides of politics: accusations, distortions, lies and fabricated falsehoods designed to destroy someone personally instead of debating them on the issues.We’ve lived through it from people on both sides — Republicans and Democrats.And this is exactly why so many good people look at politics and say, “Why would I ever put myself or my family through that?”But I also believe this can be an important moment for everyone who cares about the truth.It’s an opportunity to see how words and events can be taken out of context and presented in a way that creates a completely different impression.That matters far beyond me or this campaign.Because good, level-headed people should not allow themselves to be pulled into outlandish, destructive gossip or slander simply because something shocking appears in a headline, a social-media post or a selectively edited clip.We have to be willing to slow down, look at the evidence, hear the full context and determine what is actually true.Politics should never give someone permission to recklessly attack a man’s wife, his children, his marriage or his character.But I’m not asking anyone to simply take my word for it.Look at the full evidence. Watch the entire clip. Listen to what was actually said. Understand the context. Then make your own judgment.When I’ve made mistakes in my life, I own them. I have never claimed to be a perfect husband or father. But there is a tremendous difference between acknowledging failures in life and accepting an accusation that you abused your wife or children.Those are serious allegations. Serious allegations require serious evidence.So I’m not going to respond with another political attack.I’m going to put the full context in front of the people of Colorado.Watch it. Listen to it. And decide for yourself.That’s what people deserve the truth, the whole truth, and the opportunity to make up their own minds."
