The Spin

Democratic narrative

The Trump administration illegally weaponized the federal government by unlawfully sharing Sherrill's confidential military records to help Ciattarelli. This dangerous violation puts every veteran's private information at risk for political attacks. Even some Republican lawmakers condemned using this type of illegal, dirty politics to gain an electoral advantage.

Republican narrative

Complaints about the release of these records are a distraction. Sherrill built her political brand on military service while concealing her punishment for her part in a major scandal. Now she has refused to release her disciplinary files despite making military credentials central to her campaign. Voters deserve complete transparency about her integrity, not hidden scandals.
