Since it’s already being reported - Yes I left the Oversight briefing with Epstein victims early.

As a recent survivor (not 2 years in), I had a very difficult time listening to their stories. Full blown panic attack. Sweating. Hyperventilating. Shaking. I can’t breathe.

I feel the immense pain of how hard all victims are fighting for themselves because we know absolutely no one will fight for us.

Tomorrow/later we hear from them ourselves thanks to Rep. Thomas Massie (R-Ky.)

Life is messy. Law is messy. Dealing with terrible stories is tough. Congresscritters have to hear some pretty awful testimonies sometimes.

Maybe she's in the wrong job. At least she should avoid being in situations that are going to trigger her panic attacks.

[Az Joe]

You’re missing the point.

Go ahead, have panic attacks, have emotional distress. Why does she have to announce it to the media? Many prior examples.

> Why does she have to announce it to the media?

Well, of course she doesn't have to.

OTOH our so-called public servants are supposed to be accountable to the public, and so to the greatest degree possible, their official words and actions (e.g. while receiving testimony) should be publicly available. CSPAN does some of that, but the internet is everywhere.

So I suspect that she wanted to get out in front of this before some tabloid made a big deal of it. That's all.

She needs to pull out of the governor’s race.

[albie]

“Recent survivor” of what?

[riverrunner]

I agree if she isn’t tough enough for this what is she going to do,

When things get real rough.

[roving]

She’s a survivor herself. You have no idea what the women said.

[roving]

But you don’t know, I can’t help you. Idiotic comment.

[servo1969]

Fair or not, this doesn’t make me think she can handle stress.

[escapefromboston]

What a clown

[RandFan]

You’re entitled to that opinion

She was very shaken from what I saw

[DeplorablePaul]

Thank you. I have been warning that crazy Nancy, my congress woman, was a fatal attraction. Now she’s running for governor. God help us.

[RoosterRedux]

Agreed. She's hot in a weird way. She can have all the dramatic attacks she wants, AFAIC.

It's pathetic that grown men complain about such petty stuff.

[liberalh8ter]

Why does she have to announce it to the media?

She told us why in the very first sentence…….since it was already going to be reported by the press.

[vivenne]

She announced ahead of it being announced in the news so she could tell it herself.

[vivenne]

No she doesn’t.
