The mudslinging in the media against Republicans has been taken to a whole new level by Politico.
After being literally begged by Jennifer-Ruth Green not to publish reports of a sexual assault, the publication posted it anyway.
According to Green, they did not bother to tell the whole story, adding insult to injury.
Green is a candidate for Indiana’s first congressional district.
She is a conservative minority, a demographic the media despises.
Not the Whole Story
Green is one of the many Republican women alive in this year’s House races.
She is also a minority, something we are seeing more and more of these days in the GOP.
That, however, puts a target on her head.
To that point, Politico’s profile included her sexual assault case, but Green says they are not telling the entire story to purposely shade her to voters.
Green stated, “The reality of it is – like I said at one point in my life to my assailant, ‘No. Please stop. Don’t.’ – and he did what he wanted to do … This is the exact same situation all over again, all because there was a man who wanted some sort of gratification.
“Congressman Frank Mrvan gets his gratification of trying to think he’s smearing my name.
“Adam Wren gets his gratification of thinking he’s going to get a good smear story out of it.
“And all it does is essentially reopen wounds for victims.”
She continued, “I’m surprised because Adam Wren spent time in this article focusing on every single detail down to the skirt I was wearing, down to the color of the skirt I was wearing, down to every single knob I touched, all of those things, but yet he writes clinically about one of the worst days of my life.
“He has no idea the concept of being forced to be in a four by four, round circular area, 30 feet in the ground in a tower where you only have windows and a 30-foot drop on the other side, 30-foot drop to escape somebody who was blocking your path [with] somebody who has a clear intent with a weapon in hand, who is focused on trying to take advantage of you, and you’re able to escape that with minimal physical harm. And he wants to reduce that to 50 characters.”
Politico covers her poor evaluation that allegedly held Green’s career back, but she explains, “After reporting my assault against the advice of officials in my command, my career was intentionally derailed.
“I appealed the findings with the military and the issue is settled.
“I have unquestionably progressed as a military member, promoting to the rank of Lieutenant Colonel, and successfully completed a command tour.
“As I have always, I will move forward and succeed despite obstacles such as this thrown in my path.”
