Heidi Heitkamp's Exposes Victims of Domestic Abuse in Campaign Ad

[GURPS]

After North Dakota Democratic Sen. Heidi Heitkamp’s campaign publicly named some women as victims of domestic violence without the women’s consent or knowledge, some of the women have announced they are getting ready to sue the campaign.

CNN reported, “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.’”

I'm sure some campaign intern did this without the Senator's knowledge.

Isn't that always the case?

In reality, not always, but I would think that in this case, most likely it is true. Cant imagine they had the Senator vet the list of names against permissions granted by individuals. That seems very much like a staffer/intern sort of task.

I'm sure it was a staffer - Heidi Heitkamp's staffer. aka her responsibility and the buck stops with her.

"I'm Heidi Heitkamp and I approve this message."

So yeah, sue the #### out of her and she needs to lose HARD in November.

You can delegate authority but not repsonsibility.

You can delegate authority but not responsibility.

Democrats see that exactly the opposite.

Sounds like an awfully stupid thing to do.

Only if they were wearing a blue, stained dress.
