President Trump’s 9th Circuit nominee apologized Wednesday for failing to disclose to the Senate dozens of articles he wrote in college, saying he regretted his youthful positions on sexual harassment, gays and AIDS. More from sarahdwire:
Senate Judiciary Committee ranking member Sen. Dianne Feinstein at a March 6 hearing.
In a Feb. 10, 1994, Cornell Review article, Lee decried Clinton-era ads promoting condom use to prevent the spread of HIV and asserted that “a scientific explanation exists for the higher incidence of AIDS in the gay community. Homosexuals are more promiscuous than heterosexuals, and thus their risk factor increases exponentially.”
In a Feb. 8, 1996, Cornell Review article headlined “Feminist Follies,” Lee wrote, “According to these radical feminists, an innocuous hug is tantamount to sexual assault — a loaded term that sounds like rape. These wild accusations are consistent with gender feminist rhetoric: they exaggerate the charges to make them sound more alarming to win support for their political agenda.”
“I made every good faith effort to collect everything that I had. I even went to my mom’s old house, went through the garage," Lee said. “I apologize for this. I understand it’s caused inconvenience and is frustrating. It is frustrating for me as well.”
