Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, a Democrat from North Dakota, apologized Tuesday after publicly naming victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse in an attack ad aimed at her Republican challenger -- this, after some of the women said they did not give permission for the campaign to name them, and others said they'd never experienced abuse.Democrats have jumped the shark on using women.
Lexi Zhorela, 24, told The Associated Press she was listed in the ad because and "I'm furious," she said. "I have only shared my story with a couple of people in confidence. ... I didn't want it blasted for the world to see."
Zhorela said she'd intended to vote for Heitkamp in November but will "definitely not now."
After discovering her name listed on the ad, another woman, Kady Miller, wrote on Facebook: “I am not a domestic abuse survivor. Should this even be legal??”
