A definitive statement, to say the least.
Just a few days ago, Donald Trump attracted some controversy for the manner in which he answered a question at a press conference.
Trump was asked what message he would send to young American men today, in light of the number of women coming forward and making sexual assault allegations.
He controversially responded to this by saying: “Well, I’d say that it’s a very scary time for young men in America when you can be guilty of something you may not be guilty of. This is a very difficult time.”
The question was asked in light of the allegations made of newly-appointed Supreme Court Justice Brett Kavanaugh.
Dr. Christine Blasey Ford has accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her in 1982.
Speaking in front of the US Senate judiciary committee at the end of September, she said:
“During my time at this school, girls at Holton-Arms frequently met and became friendly with boys from all-boys schools in the area, including the Landon school, Georgetown Prep, Gonzaga high school, as well as our country clubs and other places where kids and families socialised.
“This is how I met Brett Kavanaugh, the boy who sexually assaulted me.”
President Trump said during a press conference on board Air Force One on Saturday that he is “100%” certain that Ford named the wrong person.
He was asked if he was sure that Dr. Ford named the wrong person, to which he replied: “100%. I’m 100%. I have no doubt.”
Trump went on to say that: “There is nobody with a squeaky-clean past Brett Kavanaugh.”
