Politico Outs Republican Candidate As Sexual Assault Survivor

  • Twitter lit up with support for Jennifer-Ruth Green, the GOP midterm candidate running to unseat Democrat Rep. Frank Mrvan, D-Ind in Indiana’s First Congressional District, after Politico outed her as a victim of sexual assault.
  • Adam Wren, a correspondent for Politico, wrote a wide-ranging profile of Green last week that included revelations obtained from Green’s military records that she was a victim of a sexual assault while serving in Iraq as a member of the U.S. Air Force.
  • Despite several pleas from Green not to publish the previously undisclosed details of the assault, Politico moved forward with publication.
  • On Sunday, Green spoke with Fox News Digital exclusively about Politico’s decision. Following the interview, supporters took to social media to defend her.
