In Arizona, Democratic congressional candidate Bernadette Greene-Placentia says she was assaulted and raped by two men in August as she attempted to repair a damaged campaign sign late at night. Greene-Placentia believes the attack may have been politically motivated. She reported the alleged assault to the Maricopa County Sheriff’s Office two weeks later, saying she was hit from behind and knocked unconscious, before waking up to two men sexually assaulting her. She says she does not have a clear memory of the assault, during which she may have suffered a concussion, but she recalls one of the attackers calling her a “Democratic b––.” Greene-Placentia said she decided to come forward to give a voice to other survivors.
