George Will defends criticized column on campus sexual assaults in C-SPAN interview

George Will, under fire for a nationally syndicated column about campus sexual assaults, isn't backing down. He's doubling down. Faced with a backlash over a June 6 column in which he wrote of the "supposed campus epidemic of rape" and the way in which "victimhood" serves as a "coveted status that confers privileges," Will said in a TV interview recorded Thursday that he wasn't withdrawing his words.
