Reminds me of this confrontation between Colorado anti-Second Amendment legislator Evie Hudak and Amanda Collins, a rape survivor, from 2013:

In March, 2013, while in a legislative hearing about legislation to ban concealed carry firearms from college campuses, rape survivor Amanda Collins discussed how, when attacked by convicted rapist and murderer James Biela, she wished she had a firearm to defend herself. Hudak responded: "I just want to say, statistics are not on your side, even if you had had a gun. You said that you were a martial arts student, I mean person, experience in taekwondo, and yet because this individual was so large and was able to overcome you even with your skills, and chances are that if you had had a gun, then he would have been able to get than from you and possibly use it against you..." Hudak's comments sparked outrage and were described as insensitive to rape victims. A recall petition was created by several Colorado citizens opposed to the legislation.

Between September 6–7, 2013, Hudak was attending hearings of the Colorado Corrections Department and Parole Division, and was caught updating Facebook and Twitter with material unrelated to the hearings. When confronted with evidence she described it as "extraneous."

On October 4, 2013, a second effort to recall State Senator Hudak as a result of her support for gun control began. Two members of the Colorado State Legislature were recalled from office earlier in 2013.

Resignation

On November 27, 2013, the Denver Post announced that Hudak intended to resign her seat in the face of the recall. Hudak later held a press conference where she announced her resignation. Because she is resigning, the Democrats will be able to appoint a replacement; if she had been recalled, the Republicans could have gained a majority in the state senate. Her resignation was a recognition that the recall effort might have been successful.
