After last night’s emotional testimony from rape victims over concealed carry on college campuses, one rape victim, Kim Weeks, has stinging words for the Democrats who voted yes:
Testifying about my rape was not the worst part yesterday. Watching dems vote against me was. I thought they were pro victim #coleg

But, she’s not the only one who testified and was shaken by Democrats’ callousness during the Committee hearing. Amanda Collins, who was the recipient of Senator Evie Hudak’s condescending comments, also expressed shock at the Senator’s lack of sensitivity. Here’s an excerpt from the Denver Post:
“Aside, Hudak apologized to Collins, but questions the senator’s motive for doing so.
‘I don’t know how genuine it really was,’ Collins said.”
It’s not just that the Democrats were inconceivably insensitive to the trauma these women experienced on college campuses, it’s the very premise of the argument that they’re bringing forth. It’s that hypothetical statistics are more relevant to legislation than real-life experience, and that statistics are more important than women’s right to protect themselves. The very premise is absurd, but just part of the Democratic mantra – the collective is more important than the individual. But, this is coming from the same party that voted “no” on protecting our children from sexual predators in killing Jessica’s Law.
That these two women feel somewhat victimized again should come as no shock. This Democrat-inspired War on Women’s right to protect themselves is just one way that Democrats are soft-pedaling their victimhood mentality. They consistently assert that women are incapable of defending themselves, and it’s false. Collins set Hudak straight on this notion in the same Denver Post article. She said:
“The stats are against me,” Collins said, “but I am going to fight because of my experience.”
We are not in Kansas anymore Toto…. Time to get rid of these "Public servants" that are no more then corrupt incompetent fools… Take our country back from these vermin.. The second amendment is our gun permit and it does not expire!
Part of the reason is that so many Californians have moved to Colorado! They screw up every thing they touch!
I'll tell you what if there is anything I can do to help Kim Weeks in this fight, I would be more than happy to do it. and I agree there is absolutely NO difference what so ever between the two statements.
we are slowly becoming California each and everyday that the liberals are in control, we are being ruled by the peoples republic of Boulder and Denver.
No, the statistics are NOT on Hudak's side. The so-called statistics Hudak ctes are bogus because they compare apples to kumquats. Someone should ask Hudak what percentage of women WITH Concealed Carry were raped versus what percetage of women WITHOUT CCW? Why have Democrats not even TRIED to find THAT useful statistic?
yup
There is NO difference between Representative Joe Salazar's comments last week in the Colorado House and Senator Hudak's comments this week in the Colorado Senate Committee. Both are designed to help get power for the Democrats. Victims/women/children/constituents be damned.
