About this Episode

Hillary and Tina cover former US House Representative for California Katie Hill and former United States House Representative from New York, Anthony Weiner.

Hillary's Story
In 2018, Katie Hill was elected to the most female and racially diverse Congress to govern in the history of the United States. But, when nude photos of Hill were published across the internet, Hill fought to protect her reputation. Still, many wondered if Hill was a victim of misogynistic double standards or a perpetrator of sexual misconduct.

Tina's Story
Anthony Weiner, served as congressman for New York’s 9th district from 1999-2011. Known for his competitiveness and candor, Weiner challenged political opponents and called out shady behaviors and actions regularly. But, when Weiner accidentally posts an inappropriate selfie to Twitter, he revealed parts of himself that no one wanted to see.
