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.'"

if Clinton grabbing her goods, dropping trou and pulling her hand to his naked crotch isn’t sexual harassment, then the accusation against Brett Kavanaugh does not meet the definition either

I know a woman who lives in Manhattan and avoids the subway because of gropers.

Best picture ever!

It truly captures the joy people felt at the end of the war.

Yes! Joseph “The bootlegger” Kennedy did it!

If it wasn’t a Kennedy, must have been someone in Kavanaugh’s family tree.

This is absurd. When I was in college, a guy kissed me and pushed me against a wall, unwanted. I pushed him away and said what are you doing? And he left me alone. However I am not scarred for life. Or maybe I should go through therapy and discover that I truly am LOL

The Democratic lawmaker says she was 13 and remembers the "EXACT" time and "EXACTLY" where she was when it happened and that she was not confused. Weinberg named her alleged assailant, a frequent visitor to their house when she was growing up. He is believed to be now deceased.

The 83 year old has total recall of what happened 70 years ago.

Dr. Ford not so much.

LOL! Pinballing down the walls.

Wonder how much coaching this woman had. Too bad they couldn’t fix her voice so she doesn’t sound like a five year-old girl.
