"It wasn't enough to vote against this." Why? How could you identify more with Trump's position in that you framed it as needing to be convinced by Democrats to vote against this? How could you be so morally empty you agreed with Stephen Miller of all people?

I’m genuinely worried that he weakened her civil case with this statement out of petty fury that he’s rightfully getting heat for not pressing charges against rapists. He clearly isn’t interested in seeing her succeed and he basically called her a liar—a huge gift to the civil defense

One of the Cornell students accused of gang rape, Scott Kretzschmar, denies it and says through his attorney that they are going to “confront” the survivor through the court system. I can already tell you that means victim-blaming, DARVO, and smears. She is going to need a lot more of our support.
