A sexual assault survivor whose privacy was invaded by Sen. Heidi Heitkamp (D., N.D.) said Thursday morning she would no longer support the senator’s reelection.
Lexi Zhorela, of Bismarck, North Dakota, appeared on CNN's "New Day" where she spoke about her experience being revealed in a Heitkamp campaign ad as a victim of sexual assault.
The Heitkamp campaign placed the ad in Saturday's Bismarck Tribune, framing it as an open letter to midterm challenger Rep. Kevin Cramer (R., N.D.). It criticized Cramer for supporting Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh, and it was presented as if it had been written by a list of North Dakotan women who were purportedly victims of "domestic violence, sexual assault, or rape."
Soon after, however, a number of the women came forward to criticize the ad, some denying they were ever contacted. Some denied they were even victims of abuse.
