The Republican official said the Bible instructs parents to hit their kids as a form of love, adding that he would hug his child and give them a Rice Krispies treat afterward.
Shae Sortwell, a Republican representative in the Wisconsin State Assembly, was investigated in a potential felony child abuse case in 2013 after a family member told police about bruises they found on his child's body.
After hitting his child, Sortwell wouldn't inspect the child for injuries, but they would hug the child and give them a Rice Krispies treat. The investigation occurred before Sortwell was elected to the state Assembly. At the time, he was active in national politics and had served on the Green Bay City Council. He is now a member of the Assembly's Criminal Justice and Public Safety Committee.
