A second woman has accused former President George H.W. Bush of groping her.
Jordan Grolnick, a New York actress, said that she has a similar story to the one Heather Lind shared about the former president fondling her during a photo op, according to Deadspin.
Bush apologized through a spokesman in a statement earlier Wednesday. The statement said that “on occasion, he has patted women’s rears in what he intended to be a good-natured manner” and routinely tells a joke.
“To anyone he has offended, President Bush apologizes most sincerely,” the statement said.
Lind wrote in a now-deleted Instagram post reported by The Daily Mail on Tuesday that Bush "assaulted me while posing for a... photo."
"When I got the chance to meet George H. W. Bush four years ago to promote a historical television show I was working on, he sexually assaulted me while I was posing for a similar photo. He didn’t shake my hand. He touched me from behind from his wheelchair with his wife Barbara Bush by his side. He told me a dirty joke,” Lind wrote.
Yes, reminds me of the comedian that talks about birthdays and how you can start to break the law when you are 70...by 100 you can punch or choke out anyone you can ;)
If GWHB is suffering from some form of dementia, the family just ought to come clean about it.
Where are the groping complaints about Joe Biden and Bill Clinton?
If men and women are equal, where are the complaints about women groping men?
try that and i hope you let us know how that worked out for you.
Who are “most people?” Any red blooded 93 yr old man who still has the stamina and fortitude to display casual sexual affection for a beautiful young woman has my deepest respect. I am 78 and try hard, sometimes, not to touch the merchandise.
But wait a minute. GWB just ripped Trump. Doesn’t that put him in the media’s good graces?
yesterday I was willing to believe it was an accidental graze on the butt, (and no real big deal) but now, no way. DOM syndrome.
what a foolish old fart, and complete lack of class. UGH.
HW was hanging out with Slick too much and figured, why not give groping a try?
I still think any woman groped by a dirty old man should just slap him away and admonish him. That’s the way all the Southern women I know would do it. And when you are aware of a man being this way, you do not allow him into your personal space. And you warn other women to keep a distance. I can remember a lot of old men who had this reputation when I was a child and teenager. We stayed away. Family members warned females.
Please don’t take this as a defense of the Bushies (it isn’t), but I hope folks recognize this #metoo thing for what it is: a massive effort on the left to raise hysteria among women to effect massive social change...and not for the positive.

This complaint seems to be legitimate.
I agree....I’m the son of a 90 yr old Father who has to hug every woman he comes in contact with...makes for some awkward moments...lol
“Deadspin reported that a source said .....”
I am not going to accept that as being fact. I am not a fan of new world order globalists but I am not going to condemn a man that has lost half his senses.
I have a 90+ year old relative I see regularly. He thinks he’s a player too. A lot of these old folks have lost half their senses. If he was half his age doing this, I wouldn’t be as willing to overlook it.
I’ve had women say things to me over the years that would be considered inappropriate — sometimes unwanted. So it’s not just men.
I thought all men were allowed one free grope.
At least that’s what we were told when accusations were leveled against BJ Clintoon.
I groped a classmate in 7th grade. She liked it because she liked me. I’m sure she went and told her girlfriends later that day. We both attended the same elementary school and competed against each other in spelling bees, so it wasn’t as though she didn’t already know me. She was ‘better’ developed than most girls her age. Back in the ‘80s, she called my uncle’s house trying to find me. I never followed up on it. Am I to think that I’m a bad person and that I have always been a sexual predator? If I had sincerely “moved with the times”, I might have wanted to make amends or carry the weight of regret and shame for the rest of my life...but that didn’t happen because it isn’t necessary because it was all just about growing up.
I’m getting pretty jealous! I met him and he didn’t touch me.
This alleged actress should have just shut up.

She had to cash in on her 15 seconds of fame too. Otherwise, I would have never heard of Jordan whatever her name is.
It seems he did indeed touch her butt. On the other hand, she says he "sexually assaulted" her. Over the top and an insult to women who were really abused.
I will!
Leftists trying to make drama to cover over the bad news that they are treasonous .
Cuffing snowflakes. ZERO tolerance, and no respect for traditions that extend back to days of tribes and clans.
Old guys were assigned privilege not allowed to younger guys.
For good and valid reasons.
