Claire McCaskill is officially done with _Game of Thrones_. “Ok, I’m done Game of Thrones,” McCaskill [said Tuesday morning on Twitter](https://twitter.com/clairecmc/status/600636817239605249 "undefined"). “Water Garden, stupid.Gratuitous rape scene disgusting and unacceptable.It was a rocky ride that just ended. The Missouri Democrat sent out the stream of consciousness tweet Tuesday morning, likely after wrapping up [the HBO series’ most recent episode](http://time.com/3882023/game-of-thrones-watch-unbent-unbowed-unbroken/ "undefined"), which featured a brutal wedding-night rape scene that many criticized. In the episode, Sansa Stark, played by Sophie Turner, was raped by her brute of a new husband shortly after saying I do. “It was a brutal, uncomfortable scene that almost certainly had viewers pleading with their screens and cursing them after,” TIME’s Eric Dodds wrote. Turner, for her part, [said she “loved” the scene](http://time.com/3882162/game-of-thrones-sansa-stark-wedding-ramsay-bolton/ "undefined"), and George R.R. Martin, who wrote the books that inspired the series, [defended what’s come to be called the “black wedding” scene.](http://time.com/3882827/george-rr-martin-black-wedding-controversy/ "undefined") > [](https://twitter.com/clairecmc/status/600636817239605249) ### See Photos from Game of Thrones Season 5  Maisie Williams as Arya Stark.
