Reading the back-story for why she made headlines is basically Republicans in a nutshell. A white male R state senator took a subtle photo of an Iranian-American female D state senator without her permission. He then shared the photo on a GOP group chat where they all made fun of her and said she looks like a stripper and a prostitute. When it got reported that this was happening in their chat, he deleted his post and denied knowing anything about it. The guy is also the Chair of the anti-harassment committee. This woman who just resigned also said she had no idea who took the photo or anything about the chat that she was on. When security footage showed the guy took the photo and screenshots of the chat showed him making fun of her, he decided to resign to avoid punishment while also making a Twitter post about how he was being unjustly persecuted. This woman also got on the floor to yell at people for calling to question her integrity for lying about who took the photo and everything about the case.
How dare this woman of color act like a white person while wearing whatever she wants!?!
How dare you question my integrity after I lied right to your face to protect an abusive piece of shit!?!
Also, since body shaming is OK for him, let me say that he looks exactly like who you would picture if someone said, “a truck driver was arrested for aggravated assault while intoxicated.”
Except that isn’t what he said. He didn’t say that someone attempted to destroy it. He said it was destroyed.
