Senator Claire McCaskill is done with Game of Thrones

US Senator Claire McCaskill (D-Missouri) is an avid Twitter user and apparently a long-time watcher of HBO's Game of Thrones. But no longer:

Ok, I'm done Game of Thrones.Water Garden, stupid.Gratuitous rape scene disgusting and unacceptable.It was a rocky ride that just ended.

She's far from the only viewer upset by the scene in question from "Unbowed, Unbent, Unbroken" and Vox's Jen Trolio argues that viewers are right to be angry.
