Veteran congressional candidate has details of her sexual assault leaked and published

| October 10, 2022

Jennifer-Ruth Green

Politico, not known for their impartial reporting, has run with a story on Lieutenant Colonel Jennifer-Ruth Green of Indiana. She’s a Republican candidate for Congress, a 2005 graduate of the Air Force Academy, and a veteran of the Iraq War. In Iraq she was sexually assaulted by an Iraqi. Somehow details of this event were given to Politico in what they called a “public records request and provided to Politico by a person outside the Mrvan campaign.”

That’s an…odd…way of explaining where the records came from. When we request official records, we get them from the government directly (such as the NPRC), and say exactly that. The provenance of such records should be properly documented, and not just that they didn’t come from your political rivals.

Wherever the records came from, it sounds like Green asked Politico not to publish the details, but they did anyway. Nothing like traumatizing a sexual assault survivor to score political points, amiright?

Fox News has the story.

I am simply gob smacked. This is staggering victim shaming and revictimization, by the Air Force, by Politico and by the opposing candidate.

She received a poor evaluation for “two instances of lacking judgment while deployed; handling your weapon and wandering away while at a [forward operating base].” Quoting her denial, then qualifying it with “…Green has not contested the authenticity of the records…” infers she saw what they had prior to publishing.

This is how she was punished for reporting a sexual assault – blamed for it happening by her behavior. Scumbags think this is not only okay to publish, but also qualifies as questions about her leadership and military career?

This is true evil and will not stop until those who commit these despicable acts of character assassination by false inference are held to account. Voting the other guy out is not enough. Whoever released those records, agreed to publish and that writer all need to be punished.

Spot on OAM, Nailed it! Seems to me that her political opponents have not only assured her election, but left themselves wide open for lawsuits and possible, in a just world, criminal prosecution. Time will tell.

It’s too bad that so many people in the world were not given the proper home training of keeping your hands to yourself. And that so many females were not taught to knock hell out of someone that did touch them without permission…and the courage to do so. We were.

Lord willing. She’s running in my district. Be nice to have someone other than a Dem in that seat. We’ve had donkeys in that seat since Hoover was President.

May I toss my hat in the ring for the firing squad detail?
I’ll even bring my own ammo.

This is evidence that those on the (D)emon-rat side are utterly despicable.

“Blame the victim. She was asking for it.”

Way to go Politico. Stay the classless scum sucking pieces of garbage you are.

No means no!

Too bad we don’t have an honorary AOI for shitty liberal rags run by an editor without a conscience.

MustangCPT

Aah, what the hell..In what I believe to be a FIRST, I move that we drop the AOI on the entire Politico organization and the Mrvan campaign. Just need a “Segundo” and an “AYE” and we’re in business. Who’s with me?

SECOND!

I don’t even live in Indiana and I’m sending her a donation today. Hope she stomps Mrvan.

General Officers simply cannot be allowed to be a part of disciplinary or judicial processes.

They refuse to follow due process, often even the law. They refuse to consider evidence, and they always make a political decision.

It has come to this; the entire UCMJ has to be taken away from the military and be placed into an independent branch of the judiciary.

“I don’t like him/her” cannot be the standard upon which punishment or retention are based.

Can Politico be sued over the release of this information? And if so, on what grounds? (Inquiring minds….)

What is that topmost set of wings or whatever they are on her uniform?

Cyberspace Operator. In The Air Force Reserves she transitioned from aviation to Special Agent and currently works in communications. She has a lot going on.

I was an Advocate for Sexual Assault Survivors back in 1993. I was trained by the Department of Corrections for the State of Minnesota, and held that qualification for 2 years.

This story boils my blood.
How DARE this democratic candidate stoop to the level of a common blackmailer….no, even lower than that…a street thug with a camera planted in the women’s room at a bus station.
I have seen some political dirt campaigns in my long life, and have been disgusted enough to be physically sick.
THIS one….
This one is leaving me without the right words.
I am absolutely without words .

Well, hopefully this shitbaggery means Mrvan gets sent packing. I think Ltc. Green has the strength of character to get through this and rub all of their noses in it.

Well, the Air Force now knows who released the information. Will the individual be punished? Probably not.
