Sen. Heidi Heitkamp issued a personal apology on Tuesday after her campaign identified some women as survivors of abuse in an ad without their knowledge or consent.
The misstep has led some women misidentified in the ad to decry the Democratic candidate and question how their names landed on the list, with one group of women saying they are seeking "a lawyer who will take our case" because the ad has "interfered with, or downright ruined, our lives."
The Heitkamp campaign, looking to slam Rep. Kevin Cramer, her Republican opponent, for suggesting "tough people" do not identify with the national conversation around sexual assault and the treatment of women, ran an open letter to Cramer to show him "what prairie tough looks like."
The letter featured over 120 names at the bottom, but several women have come forward to say they were either included without their permission or were not survivors of "domestic violence, sexual assault, or rape," as specified in the letter.

AND DONT-FORGET THE NEW DEMOCRAT NORMAL:
bullying mobs, violence to make your point, self-aggrandizement, sexual abuse and gratification with anything handy.
With them, its always Me-First.
She was down 10+ points before this.. She was already done...
This just proves she should have never been in the Senate in the first place.
Good grief. Those women should get lawyers and sue the Size XL pants off Heitkamp.
The word survivor has lost all meaning.
The DIMS continue their war against women. Unless women voters despise women, why would they vote DIM?
LMAO!
This story should be the top political story of the day.. .we’ll see how it plays out.. my guess is, it won’t get the play it deserves
According to the Left and their handlers in the MSM, apologies don’t work for Conservatives. Then it stands to reason that the enemies of freedom on the Left and the MSM don’t get their apologies accepted either.
She’s toast.
The FusionGPS op into these women was not a fake - it’s probably some of Simpson’s best work getting dirt on these women. The fact Heitkamp used the opppo research conducted on the women wasn’t fake. Of course wrong though but they’re DEMs so now they’ll just smear these women faster than Ford threw her best friend under the bus as crazy.
“The word survivor has lost all meaning.”
I guess I’m a “survivor”...frisky women have brushed my shoulder with their breasts at cocktail parties.
When you’re headed for the cliff, put the pedal to the metal Heidi...
When I was in college my boss “a homosexual artist” used to ask me to pose nude for him. I laughed it off at the time.
Now I’m afraid to fly, and I speak in a voice that sounds like a six year old child. If he ever runs for Supreme Court, I don’t know how I’ll be able to get there to testify against him.
I guess I’m a survivor.
The first two sentences are true.
Like ChiDFi, who leaked Fords letter without permission,
Campy did the same, without permission.
Campy is done.
To be fair to Heitkamp, this was probably a staffer who messed up big time. It’s still an evil democrat, just not the US Senator. I hope it costs her the close election anyways. She is completely responsible for voting against Kavanaugh over completely unsubstantiated claims.
Its not close, she was down 12 before this.. Kavanaugh effect destroyed her...
I know she likely didn’t personally fact check the release.. but still she’s a sitting senator... and her name is on it she approved its release.
