In case you don't know who Steven Menashi is, he's Trump's choice for a lifetime seat on a U.S. circuit court. Menashi is 40, he's currently Trump's White House legal aide and he said all this stuff. https://www.huffpost.com/entry/steven-menashi-trump-judge-lgbtq-women-diveristy_n_5d76c8cbe4b0752102316328?x8&fbclid=IwAR0pHqnpjf3JVzf-Elnvs_et582hHE_dxE1DAiZLBfpUVvf5fhZr4texwAs …pic.twitter.com/yk2Q80m3q1

Menashi also served as legal counsel to Education Secretary Betsy DeVos when, in 2017, she rolled back Title IX protections for survivors of sexual assault on campuses. "A perfect storm of awful," per
