The congresswoman said that she was barred from walking because she declined to rat out classmates who were involved in the scandal that impacted 130 midshipmen in her class.
“I didn’t turn in some of my classmates, so I didn’t walk, but graduated and was commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Navy, serving for nearly ten years with the highest level of distinction and honor,” Sherrill (D-NJ) told the outlet.
She declined to authorize the release of sealed disciplinary records about her time at the academy that would’ve revealed the details of why she was not allowed to walk at graduation.
The Post reached out to the Sherrill campaign for comment.
News of the scandal comes hours after a shock poll showed her dead even with Republican Jack Ciattarelli, after months of polling pegged her as the runaway frontrunner.
