Summary

TW: Sexual Assault If you’re not in a place where it’s ok to think about sexual assault, come back when you are! And if you have ever experienced sexual violence, you are not alone. If you’re ready to talk to someone about it, call the National Sexual Assault Hotline at 800-656-HOPE or contact the Rape Abuse Incest National Network at online.rainn.org. This week Ana Marie Cox (@anamariecox) sat down with Republican writer Rick Wilson (@TheRickWilson). They delved into the recent testimony of Dr. Christine Blasey Ford and the reactions from people across the country. The conversation shifted to the relationship between Democrats and Republicans and mistrust and miscommunication between the parties. They also discussed the women who have come forward with their own personal stories and the culture of sexual assault within this country. They ended by predicting the results of the confirmation and the future of the GOP’s message and direction. Get in touch with us on Twitter at @crooked_friends or email the show at [email protected].

0:09.6	this week to do a real official trigger warning.
0:13.8	Kind of life is a trigger right now for a lot of people, but this show, especially we're going to
0:18.5	talk about the Blasie Ford testimony and we're going to talk a lot about sexual assault. So if
0:23.0	you're not up for that, you should wait for another time. And if you need to talk to someone,
0:29.9	there are people ready to listen. The rape, abuse, incest, national network has a sexual

2:04.4	I just threw mine on the floor. Oh, thank you. I'm honored. But we should explain. We're taping
2:09.6	this podcast even as the Kavanaugh-Losy Ford hearing is happening. We were both just trying to catch
2:18.0	up on the Twitter stream of all the craziness from today before the tape rolled. Right. We're going
