Republican Rep. Priscilla Giddings became the subject of two ethics complaints by about two dozen lawmakers after she publicized the rape accuser’s name, photo and personal details about her life in April by sharing links to an far-right news article on social media and in a newsletter to constituents.
When Giddings entered the ethics hearing on Monday, she was met with applause, shouts of support and a standing ovation by some supporters in the audience — which included some militia members and others with far-right political activist groups. Some wore shirts with messages of support, including “victims for Priscilla,” and “Stand with Priscilla, fighting for our freedom.”
Giddings also said she believed the outcome of the hearing had been pre-determined and left the hearing room after making her statement while the panel continued its work, saying she would return only if required by the ethics panel.Panel members then started to question witnesses but Giddings did not appear each time that the panel gave her the opportunity to cross-examine them.
Green said the complaint was made because the Legislature has an obligation to ensure that sexual assault victims are safe and not revictimized by having their privacy violated., making an already traumatic experience much worse.
How does this differ from the AP or other democratic media, which hang labels, spreading unsubstantiated accusations before the court ruling?
He’s the one smiling. He needs to be made an example of.
There you are. She did nothing wrong because she feels she can do whatever, whenever, to whomever, as a privileged Confederate supporter.
It's hard to understand why any woman would choose to do this to another woman. I knew before I read the article that she was a repub legislator!

If I was to comment on just how low this woman is they’d kick me off of here.
How are victims supposed to come forward and report attacks if public representatives are going to betray them? Despicable.
Save ink and save the planet! You did not need to state that this is a Republican law maker, if it was one of the many Democratic law makers having issues of late you would not have covered it. But thank you for abandoning your journalistic integrity to make Dem's look good.
This person should be sacked from the government with no benefits.
Typo in the article: 'handling someone a page of the newspaper'
And the prisons are filled with innocent people.
C'mon AP, don't hide that bigot.

What a horrible person!!
Imagine that. The people screaming about HIPAA violations are now divulging other people's personal information. It's almost like Republicans are hypocrites or something. But no, it couldn't be.
She'll regret it.
Let me guess: She's the victim, not the woman that was raped, right?
