I’m dumbfounded that he admits to what he did, but can’t see how or why it’s offensive. And he further demeans the women who brought these allegations to boot.

What did he hope to gain with that whole cringy slideshow of him acting like a gold-plated creeper? If anything, that closes the case.

He needs to do himself a favor and resign.

His statement is as bad (though in a different way) as the sexual harassment. spooky3 Aug 2021 #1
