Representative Tim Huelskamp,
pictured above with his staffer who plead guilty of 17 charges of sexual exploitation of a child, took time on Friday to criticize winners of the Maggie Award for Media Excellence, an award that is sponsored by Planned Parenthood.
With a long series of tweets that listed the names and twitter handles of recipients and labeling them "racists" and "death merchants". One of the individuals he attacked as a racist death merchant was Wagatwe Wanjuki, a prominent writer who spoke out last year about the issues that face a rape survivor in America.
Wagatwe Wanjuki is talking about the New York Times article that helped net her this award.

There is no other crime where we expect a lifetime of perfection from the victim to give them a chance to be believed.
Her article was designed to provide support for victims of Rape & Abuse, noting that talking points which seem to imply rape victims have special privileges or status within the community.
She continued her withering assault:
Huelskamp did not respond to questions about what he is doing to help minorities in his district, except to imply that apparently stopping abortion mattered. He then offered this graphic:
Which shows two things: county health centers (where you can go get vaccine shots, as an example), and also that Planned Parenthood has not a single location in his district, the big first.
No further comment from Tim Huelskamp or his Chief of Staff in regards to what issue he has with rape victims providing support to each other. Attempts to contact other former staff members were thwarted, due to their current incarceration.
