Senate Judiciary Chair Mike Bell cut her off less than halfway through her statement, gavelled a recess, and asked the sergeant-at-arms to turn off her microphone and escort her out of the hearing room. Scott was the only black woman in scheduled to speak.
Footage from the hearing shows that Bell interrupted Scott just as she began talking about white supremacy and colonialism—two overlapping structures of power she says must be taken into account any time there’s discussion of restricting people’s bodily autonomy. “You’ve gone way off subject,” Bell tells her.
My inking is heavily inspired by old school horror comics, especially those in the subgenre of “Boy I sure hope the inexplicable evil isn’t next to me!”
