Ive heard Emily be ill informed and ask STUPID questions many times before, but this takes the cake! "So, why did that man rape you?" Is she seriously asking a rape victim to explain her rapists motivation?? Then Ms. Bertzikis later states that 1 in 3 women in the military are victims of sexual assault and Emilys flabbergasted! "Are you kidding me?", she asks.....doesnt she do any research on a topic before a show? I watch this show every night, and its always better when Jared Bowen guesthosts.
Somerville’s Panalota Bertzikis says she was raped in the Coast Guard and couldn’t get officials to take the crime seriously. Later, she founded the Military Rape Crisis Center to help current and former military personnel grappling with sexual assault. Now she’s part of a groundbreaking lawsuit charging that the Pentagon is ignoring a festering sexual-assault problem in the military. Panalota Bertzikis joins Emily.
