“White supremacy and patriarchy are very linked in a lot of ways,” the New York congresswoman added. “There’s a lot of sexualizing of that violence, and I didn’t think that I was just going to be killed. I thought other things were going to happen to me as well.”

Bash added in response, “So it sounds like what you’re telling me right now is that you didn’t only think that you were going to die — you thought you were going to be raped.”
