Carol Lee: Trump’s Showing that He’s Taking the Word of the Man over the Women

EXCERPT:

LEE: "And then you have the other piece of this, which is the president sent a clear message that in this seminal moment in the country where there's this big national debate and this issue of sexual harassment is -- is really coming to a head that he’s going to take the word of the man over women. And that, in part, could be derived from what you just explained, which is if the president were to back the women in this, in this issue, then he would in some ways be undermining what he did during the campaign, which is to try to discredit the women, to say they were lying and to say that — and to issue repeated denials about the accusations that he faced. So, you know, it doesn’t — it sends a clear message and I think that, you know, the political ramifications of that are yet to be seen. We don’t know how this race is going to turn out. We also don’t know how women voters are going to respond to the president taking sides in this way."
