Taking responsibility for his actions. Well done. Blaming alcohol isn't the answer, but still, apologizing and seeking help is the first step in helping the victim move on.

I was shocked to hear a GOP official has taken personal responsibility for their inappropriate actions. He may get censured by his party for having any principles. 

Reed, 49, said in a statement that the incident involving then-lobbyist Nicolette Davis occurred “at a time in my life in which I was struggling.” He said he entered treatment that year and realized he was “powerless over alcohol.”

He was having a bad day.

In reflection, my personal depiction of this event is irrelevant.

= OK, so I was lying, but since it's pretty clear that I can't weasel out of this like a true Trumpster, what's most important is that we forget about me lying.
