Trump’s judicial nominee Kenneth Lee expressed regret for controversial college writings on AIDS in the LGBT community and sexual assault
President Donald Trump’s judicial nominee Kenneth Lee expressed regret Wednesday for controversial college writings on AIDS in the LGBT community and sexual assault.
“I absolutely would not write that today,” Lee said. “I truly regret writing that ... Looking at that now, 26 years later, I am just embarrassed by it.” “If a lecherous professor grabs a student’s breast, the last thing she would do is continue to accompany him on another trip … just so she can hold on to a part-time job,” Lee wrote at the time.
“I think you have to take any allegations very, very seriously and I think that is something we didn’t do in the past,” Lee said, adding that when he wrote the article at the age of 19, he didn’t understand the power dynamics of the workplace and the need for people to stay at jobs despite mistreatment.
