CNN's Toobin: 'If you sexually assault someone in high school, your life should be ruined'
The Hill ^ | 10/02/18 | MORGAN GSTALTER

CNN legal analyst Jeffrey Toobin on Tuesday tore into Donald Trump Jr. for his recent remarks about how men are affected when they are accused of sexual assault, with Toobin saying that someone who commits assault in high school should have their life “ruined.”

“If you sexually assault someone in high school, your life should be ruined," Toobin said on CNN's “New Day” while discussing the allegations against Supreme Court Brett Kavanaugh.

Toobin also mocked Trump Jr., jokingly saying that the president's eldest son cries himself to sleep every night “over the fate of white men in America.”

Trump Jr. recently told DailyMailTV that the national conversation around sexual misconduct and the #MeToo movement makes him fear more for his sons than his daughters.

“When the other side weaponizes it against men and says 40 years later we can bring it up, you did something in high school that no one remembers, it can disqualify you from every doing anything again, it really diminishes the real claims,” Trump Jr. said.

Toobin said the concern should be more for the alleged victims like Christine Blasey Ford, who has accused Kavanaugh of sexually assaulting her in 1982 when they were both high school students.

“How about the lives of the women who were sexually assaulted in high school?” Toobin asked. “How about 15-year-old Ms. Blasey — she wasn’t Ms. Blasey Ford in those days — how about her life? All this whining about the poor plight of white men is ridiculous.”

The Washington Post on Monday published a compilation of Republican men speaking about how they feel they are in danger of being falsely accused in the #MeToo era.

The president — who himself has been accused of sexual misconduct by more than a dozen women — defended Kavanaugh on Monday.

“The trauma for a man that’s never had any accusation — he’s never had a bad statement about him,” Trump told reporters. “It’s unfair to him at this point. What his wife is going through, what his beautiful children are going through is not describable.”

Kavanaugh has been in the center of a national conversation around the #MeToo movement after three women publicly accused him of sexual misconduct.

Or even if someone says you sexually assaulted her in high school your life should be ruined.

Anybody have a list of Toobin’s classmates?

So, he’s calling for Booker’s resignation, since he’s admitted his guilt?

Back in the day, my wife simply got sick and tired of her butt being pinched on her vacation in Italy. She was told to ignore it - by other women.

The children of the left are coming to grips with human beings being sexual creatures. We were not so vocal about it in the 70s.

And if you falsely accuse someone of sexual assault, you should suffer the same fate. Maybe worse.

You do realize this is Soros’ goal. The ULTIMATE divide to exploit.

Put your name on the sexual predators list so society can hound you until the day that you die.

What about rocks and stones? Can we throw rocks and stones?

And a sexual assault by a POTUS in the White House? That gets you a newly published book in my local Costco right now. Partisan Democrats have no shame.

Careful you don’t get wrapped up in this yourself, Jeffy. Victims can be young boys, too.

Makes me wonder how many sexual assaults were committed by Toobin.

I always thought that the men’s rights groups were just a collection of disgruntled divorced dads which is sort of understandable and certainly true but in the last 24 hours I have come to realize it really is much bigger than that. If you think these rabid feminists are going away if we just ignore them you are part of the problem.
