"An organization with the goal of stopping domestic violence has criticized the House of Representatives' minority leader for comparing Democrats to "a battered spouse support group."

State Rep. Themis Klarides, a Republican who represents Woodbridge, Orange and Derby, was quoted in a recent Danbury News Times story about how the state's budget problems have strained the relationship between Gov. Dannel P. Malloy and Democratic legislators.

The story by reporter Neil Vigdor quotes Klarides as saying, "Every Democrat up there distanced himself from the governor the whole session. And then the governor tried to distance himself from the legislature. It's like a battered spouse support group."

The comment is insensitive, Karen Jarmoc, chief executive officer of the Connecticut Coalition Against Domestic Violence, said Thursday.

"To compare a political body that is divisively debating a budget to a domestic violence support group completely negates the effectiveness of this element of service, which helps thousands of victims in shelters and communities across the state," Jarmoc said."
