Jennifer-Ruth Green, the Republican candidate for Indiana's first congressional district, is furious after Politico published details on the sexual assault she underwent while serving in the military. The US Air Force veteran claims that her Democratic opponent "illegally" obtained the sensitive information, which she pleaded with Politico not to publish. 

In a profile published Friday on Green's "surprising flight plan to win in a democratic district," reporter Adam Wren used documents, which the outlet claimed were "obtained by a public records request and provided to Politico by a person outside the Mrvan campaign" to publish the explicit details of the assault she experienced while "she and a small group of officers visited the national training center."

"I'm a survivor of sexual trauma in the military, and I am being forced to discuss it publicly for the first time because Congressman Mrvan or his supporters obtained — either illegally or by egregious error — military records describing my sexual assault as well as performance reviews, and peddled those records to the media with the intent smear me and my military career," the former USAF commander wrote in a statement to Politico.

Green accused her opponent, incumbent Rep. Frank Mrvan, and Politico of acting like her assailant by going against her wishes not to disclose that she was sexually assaulted while in the Air Force, saying they all shared a desire for "gratification" at her expense, in a statement to Fox News. 

Leftist rag, Politico, publishes Jennifer-Ruth Green's report of sexual assault.

Mrvan, and Politico turned their Stupid up to 12. This is what Prog-Dems do to off-the-Dem-Plantation blacks.

About the only things this stunt could accomplish is make less-stupid Dems cringe (and maybe withhold their votes!) and galvanize Green's voters.

Where are the liberal feminists denouncing this action by Politico? Quiet as a church mouse because everyone knows that feminists are only outraged when this stuff happens to liberals.

I can't imagine what Mrvan and Politico were thinking -- dropping a story like this would only turn the Sympathy Factor for Green way up.

It's not like Green was the perp. She was the victim, evidently. Furthermore, the assailant was an Iraqi soldier who grabbed her breast and exposed himself.

Green was smart to try to put a lid on the story. It's irrelevant to the election.
