Sad, but I'm glad she is sharing her story, as it may help change "the system" and keep others out of harm.

Heartbreaking... I do wonder if this is contributed to her masculine persona though.

Litterally wtf? Shocked

AZ is becoming more like VA instead of FL. She will have a tough time against Mark Kelly, who can be frank with her, despite her story, like Blumenthal was, when he had Vietnam scandal.

This will hurt her in a GOP primary: the primary electorate will see a feminist SJW either making false rape allegations or not letting boys be boys.

Horrible story, glad she came out publicly with this, as others have said. Sad

You show a complete misunderstanding of GOP psychology. It's not that they are pro-sexual assault. It's that they will viciously defend their own - whether it be against any allegations or from being traumatized by someone who is not one of their own - and viciously attack any outsiders/Democrats who claim to be victims or have a shred of evidence against them. As of this moment, there is not a face to put to the other side of this that needs their defense, so they will enthusiastically support her as one of their own who still fights for them even after this experience rather than being an anti-Trump zombie repeatedly bringing yelling Brett Kavanaugh.

I commend her for being brave and come out with this and being sincere. Would be good if the senate can get some legislation done to protect women or set up programs/improve existing ones.

Considering how strenuously they've denied that sexual assault in the military is even a problem, and how quickly they'll expel anyone from the circle who even slightly criticizes Dear Leader, I'm honestly not so sure about this.
