Following Politico’s decision last week to publish details of a Republican congressional nominee’s sexual assault without her permission, Me Too has remained silent.
Jennifer-Ruth Green chastised Politico for ignoring her pleas to the publication not to publish details of her assault. Politico claims they obtained the military records from someone unrelated to her opponent’s campaign who obtained them through a FOIA request. Green believes the documents were obtained “illegally.”
Me Too’s silence on Green contrasts sharply with their extensive work with sexual assault survivors, as well as their unwavering support for those who claim to have been victims of sexual assault and harassment.
“Maintain confidentiality,” states the Me Too website detailing how to support survivors of sexual assault, “let them know that you will protect their confidentiality and that it is up to them to decide who to tell about the assault.”
Democratic leadership in the House of Representatives has yet to make any kind of comment, despite their previous outspoken stance on supporting women who’ve experienced sexual assault.
