| Description | Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., apologized Tuesday for a campaign ad billed as an "open letter" to her challenger, Republican Rep. Kevin Cramer, that identified women as sexual assault survivors without their permission.
"This is a huge mistake that anyone was included on this letter that should not have been included," Heitkamp, who faces a tough re-election fight, told North Dakota radio host Rob Port Tuesday afternoon.
The letter, published in a North Dakota paper, was created in response to Cramer's recent comments that the #MeToo movement — which has helped to publicize and protest sexual assault and harassment against women — is a movement toward "victimization." |
