Jennifer-Ruth Green takes aim at political opposition after Politico publishes records of her sexual assault
Jennifer-Ruth Green, the Republican candidate for Indiana's 1st Congressional District, says her opponent helped publish "illegally obtained" military records revealing sexually assaulted while stationed in Iraq.
EXCLUSIVE: Former Indiana GOP congressional candidate Jennifer-Ruth Green says she feels "vindicated," yet "frustrated," after the Air Force admitted in a letter sent to her Wednesday that her military personnel records – the source of a pre-election Politico story that documented details about her sexual assault during her service in the branch – were released to a third party "without proper redaction."
Speaking by phone to Fox News Digital about the letter of admission, which Green received from acting Compliance Division Chief William J. Alexander Jr., the Indiana Republican who challenged Democrat Rep. Frank Mrvan to represent Indiana's 1st Congressional District last November lamented the failures of those in the media who worked to be a part of the "Democrat smear machine."
"I feel like I'm vindicated in what I've been saying all along. There are people that accused me of trying to have a last ditch smear effort on the congressman, and the [Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee], and the Democrat machine," Green said.
