Donald Trump said Wednesday he was “correct” in 2013 to blame sexual assault in the military on men and women serving together in the armed forces.
In 2013, the Pentagon released data illustrating the sharp rise in reports of sexual assault in the military. Trump tweeted his thoughts on the matter, arguing the problem was a result of women serving alongside men:
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
26,000 unreported sexual assults in the military-only 238 convictions. What did these geniuses expect when they put men & women together?
4:04 PM - 7 May 2013
Donald J. Trump ✔ @realDonaldTrump
The Generals and top military brass never wanted a mixer but were forced to do it by very dumb politicians who wanted to be politically C!
4:13 PM - 7 May 2013
When NBC’s Matt Lauer asked Trump about his claim during the network’s Commander-In-Chief forum, the GOP presidential nominee stood by it.
“It is a correct tweet. There are many people that think that’s absolutely correct,” Trump said.
