Blames military sexual assaults on allowing women to serve

Tweeted: "26,000 unreported sexual assults in the military-only 238 convictions. What did these geniuses expect when they put men & women together?" The tweet blamed victims and the policy of gender-integrated military rather than perpetrators. Trump argued that expecting men and women to serve together without assaults was naive, implying women should not be allowed in the military. The tweet would resurface during his 2016 campaign and create controversy during the Commander-in-Chief Forum.
