Campus sexual assault not mentioned by Sen. Gillibrand at Democratic convention

Published July 26, 2016 12:59am ET



New York Sen. Kirsten Gillibrand is a staunch supporter of eviscerating due process rights for college students accused of sexual assault and the perpetuation of the myth that 20 percent of college women will be assaulted. But during her short speech at the Democratic convention, she didn’t mention the issue at all.

She talked about parental leave and the gender wage gap (which is actually an earnings gap caused by different life choices men and women make). But on one of her signature issues — campus sexual assault — she said nothing.
