83-Year-Old New Jersey Lawmaker: I Was Groped, Kissed as Young Teen
NBC News New York ^ | September 28, 2018

Posted on 09/29/2018 5:45:34 AM PDT by SMGFan

An 83-year-old New Jersey state senator has revealed that she was groped and forcibly kissed by a visitor in her home when she was just a girl.

Sen. Loretta Weinberg says she never told anyone about the alleged incident it until now.

"I posted because this is how women and girls have been treated for generations and how we usually reacted," she said in a text message to The Associated Press. "These experiences are seared on our brains, our emotions and our bodies. We are not 'mixed up.'"

No chance. It was Kavanaugh, himself! If he says it wasn't him, make him prove it beyond a cosmic and science fiction doubt.

I was thinking that this could go back to a Kennedy.

She’s a Massachusetts (ptui-ptui) dimbulbcrat, I believe.
You know, the state that breeds Kennedy woman killers, Kerry woman boinkers to purchase senatorships, and fauxahauntis dimbulbs.
Ergo, we do not believe her.

and what if it was a normal right passage through adolescence?
what if boys could be boys and girls could be girls?

Sure there have been forced situations where people have crossed the line.

liquor can do that.

And then again, in the absence of liquor, many a ugly, miserable woman would have never had children.

Did Dr. Ford have any children???

Millions of home burglaries have occurred in the last decade.

So a new Jersey lawmaker thinks if anyone is accused of burglary, they are guilty because burglaries happen?

If this woman is a “lawmaker”, small wonder the world is such a mess.

Now that this supposed assault has been brought to light, I expect there will be hundreds and hundreds of supposed victims like Ford. Every man in the country will need to find a cave to hide in because it will be open season with no bag limits. I pray the FBI investigation will bring out that Ford is/was lying but it depends on how aggressive the search for the truth goes..

Hard to believe that the Monty Python “Blackmail” game show sketch in that way predicted all of this nonsense of late.

When my paternal grandfather returned home from the horrors of the Pacific Campaign (Iwo Jima, Tarawa, Saipan, Okinawa etc) that’s exactly what he did to my grandmother. Proposed afterwards, and had 7 kids after they got married. I miss them both dearly.

I don’t believe her, and even if it’s true, I don’t care if she was groped and kissed.
