Rep offers very personal rebuke of Stanford rape sentence
Clip: 6/22/2016 | 2m 34s
On the House floor, a very personal rebuke of the Stanford rapist’s sentence.
While the Capitol Hill debate over gun control has dominated headlines since the Orlando shooting, it’s hardly the only issue on lawmakers’ minds. The light sentence Stanford swimmer Brock Turner received for raping an unconscious woman has also struck a chord, especially with Rep. Ann McLane Kuster, D-N.H., who took to the floor Tuesday night to share her own experience with sexual assault.
