A new report reveals that far-left New Jersey gubernatorial candidate Rep. Mikie Sherrill (D-NJ) was blocked from walking with her graduating class at the US Naval Academy (USNA) after being caught up in a cheating scandal.
According to records obtained by The New Jersey Globe, Sherrill’s name “was not included on the commencement program during the May 25, 1994, ceremony.
Despite the USNA’s honor code, the congresswoman said she was barred because she would not “rat out” classmates involved in the scandal.
“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 said.
And, despite Sherrill making both her military service and her attendance at the Academy a cornerstone of her campaign, she has declined to allow the public to inspect any disciplinary records.
However, the Sherrill campaign rejected a request that she permit public inspection of any disciplinary records from her time at the academy. Only Sherrill could authorize the release of those sealed records.
The report comes as the gubernatorial race tightens against her opponent, Republican Jack Ciattarelli.
