To the Editor:Jessica Bennett’s compelling essay “The Audacity of E. Jean Carroll” (Opinion, Feb. 4) vividly captures the events in that New York courtroom last month.
It is truly astonishing to me, even in the wake of the verdict, that the former president continues to command a substantial base of support, especially among women of all ages.
I find it perplexing how women of integrity can seemingly compartmentalize his abhorrent behavior and still cast their ballots for a notorious womanizer.
What’s even more disturbing is his public trashing, maligning and dehumanizing of anyone who dares to hold him accountable.
Remarkably, the women who support him believe his lies, many asserting that his policies trump his behavior.
