GOP Lawmaker Posts 'Battered Women' Joke: 'I Still Eat Mine Plain'

CAITLIN MACNEAL – MARCH 11, 2014, 7:09 PM EDT

New Hampshire state Rep. Kyle Tasker (R) posted a joke about domestic violence to Facebook on Monday while defending a fellow lawmaker's comments about abusive relationships, according to William Tucker's New Hampshire politics blog, Miscellany: Blue.

Tasker posted a graphic joke about domestic violence that read, "50,000 battered women and I still eat mine plain!"

Tasker has since deleted the joke from Facebook, but Tucker sent TPM a screenshot of the post:
