This framing means the article points to the moment of her disclosure, and skims the many points she made using this detail as context for her larger point about systemic abuses that created the climate for the assault on the Capitol. Undermines instead of underlines her talk. https://twitter.com/cliffordlevy/status/1356441753281327105
In general, this kind of approach protects the status quo and focuses the attention on the individual instead, the opposite of what she hoped for.
For one moment last night she was able to reanimate the horrors of January 6th. This coverage means her disclosure seems like a possibly inappropriate detail.
Now I'm afraid the weight of this framing means reporters will be trying to "prove" her assault, and name whoever it was.
