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.
Per The New Jersey Globe:
“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.
Per The New York Post:
A shocking new New Jersey governor’s race poll suggests that Republican Jack Ciattarelli has gained massively on Democrat Mikie Sherrill following a series of blistering attack ads that showed her stumbling over her words.
Both Ciattarelli and Sherrill are dead even in the Garden State with 43% support apiece, the Emerson College Polling/PIX11/The Hill survey released Thursday found.
Some 14% of voters are unsure or rooting for someone else, and the margin of error is plus or minus 3.1 percentage points.

The Gateway Pundit reported that Sherrill smeared Charlie Kirk following the passage of a resolution honoring his “life and legacy.” Sherrill called Kirk a “Christian nationalist” who wanted to roll back rights for women and minorities.
