Thank you so much, Joy. As I listen to AOC, my heart went out to her because I know what she was experiencing, and particularly when she connected with the trauma that she had experienced when she was sexually abused. And so she described in a very vivid way what was happening with her when she heard them calling out, where is she, where is she, while she was hiding. And as she said, she thought that this was the end for her, that she could be killed.
