Today, after our “President”’s victim-blaming tweets, a close family friend called my wife about the tweets in tears and confided that in high school, while attending an east coast boarding school, she was raped by her boyfriend’s roommate while camping. 1/x They had all been drinking. She woke up in the tent with blood everywhere, hemorrhaging.

She nearly died, and had to get transfusions. She didn’t report it. She was drunk and a teen. Her dad didn’t report it. The nurses didn’t report it! We love this woman. 2/x
