Add Missouri Senator Claire McCaskill to the list of those angry at HBO’s “Game of Thrones” over a scene Sunday night of fan-favorite character Sansa Stark getting raped on her wedding night by the incredibly evil Ramsay Bolton:
Ok, I'm done Game of Thrones.Water Garden, stupid.Gratuitous rape scene disgusting and unacceptable.It was a rocky ride that just ended.

Just so we’re clear here. “Game of Thrones” — for five years now — has been committing all sorts of atrocities on men, women and children, but Sunday’s episode that showed Sansa’s brutal wedding night was the final straw?
.@clairecmc Clearly the "gratuitous rape scene" in episode 1 didn't bother you. So what changed? Other than a chance for demagoguery?

.@clairecmc Castrations, beheadings, baby death, skulls being crushed but off screen moaning crossed the line.

@redsteeze @clairecmc Really? What Jamie did to Cersei over Joffery's body wasn't enough? Someone wants attention, me thinks.

In a single moment, Ramsay Bolton squandered all the feminist goodwill he had established by castrating Theon. http://t.co/8Fycxvn0ji

@SonnyBunch missed the baby purge at Baelish's brothel to kill off any living heir to Robert Baratheon.
