Make Sure Your Representative Is Against Sexual Assault (The Midterm Special Part 1 Of 4)

Note: This is the first of four columns that will be released every Monday leading up to the 2018 midterm elections. 

On Sunday, Senator Lindsey Graham went on Face The Nation to talk about the FBI investigating Brett Kavanaugh. During that interview, he made it clear there is nothing the FBI could find that would make him change his mind on Kavanaugh. This was happening while Kavanaugh was under investigation for rape. 

Meanwhile, in the Senate, Jeff Flake has already said he would not let the FBI investigate if he were up for reelection in 2018. Jeff Flake, despite having his term up, decided to not run for reelection because of things like this. (Although he's almost certainly doing a presidential run in either 2020 or 2024) Linsey Graham will also not be up for reelection until 2020.

However, that doesn't mean the pro-sexual assault (or at least not anti-sexual assault) congressmen don't walk among us everywhere we go. 

Senator Ted Cruz, one of the least likable men in politics, for instance, voted against the reauthorization of the Violence Against Women Act. Why? Because the gays would also get protection under the new version. The horror.  

So before going to vote make sure the person representing you also doesn't think it's good to have sex with someone without permission.
