Man accused of groping woman on flight invokes Trump (tr)
Washington Compost ^ | October 23, 2018 | Allyson Chiu

Posted on 10/23/2018 2:26:30 PM PDT by EdnaMode

A woman flying from Houston to Albuquerque on Sunday had just settled into her seat and fallen asleep when she was awoken by an unwanted touch — a hand from behind her grabbing the right side of her breast. And the man authorities say is responsible allegedly cited President Trump’s past lewd language about women.

Federal prosecutors allege that the hand belonged to 49-year-old Bruce Michael Alexander from Tampa, another passenger on the Southwest Airlines flight, who reportedly told authorities after being arrested Sunday that “the President of the United States says it’s ok to grab women by their private parts,” according to a criminal complaint.

Alexander was charged Monday with abusive sexual contact, according to a news release from the U.S. attorney’s office in New Mexico. The charge carries a maximum penalty of two years in jail and a $250,000 fine. A lawyer representing Alexander could not be reached for comment late Monday.

It all began about 15 to 20 minutes after Southwest Airlines Flight 5421 left Houston on Sunday. The woman, identified in the complaint only as C.W., said she was asleep in her window seat when “she felt her clothes move” and fingers start touching her from behind “on her right side at and around her ‘bra line.’ ”

Though she initially assumed “the touching was an accident,” it happened again about 30 minutes later.

And he was not even President when he said what women would let you do because of your money.

I know.

I can’t believe the number of people I meet who are convinced that he admitted to grabbing them himself, as opposed to saying that that’s what the gold diggers will let the rich and famous men they want do to them.

Bruce Michael Alexander should have had his attitude, along with major parts of his body, significantly rearranged.

“...”the President of the United States says it’s ok to grab women by their private parts...”

How’s that working out for you, Brucie?

As Johnboy and Billy say...”Not too gooooood....”.

This is the kind of juvenile crap the Washington comPost thinks of as “winning” the culture war by publishing the story. Sick. What other ridiculous things have people said? If it doesn’t “harm” Trump they probably don’t care.

This isn’t ‘my’ information so you’re actually a more valid source on this than I am.
