Former President George H.W. Bush is facing new allegations from a Michigan woman who said he touched her inappropriately while he was in office at an event in April 1992.

The woman, now 55, spoke exclusively with CNN and said she was attending a fundraiser for Bush's re-election campaign in Dearborn, Michigan, with her father when the president grabbed her rear end during a photo-op. "We got closer together for a family photo and it was like 'Holy crap!'" she said, describing the moment Bush touched her buttocks. "It was like a gentle squeeze."

It looks to me like this whole business is developing the way the Salem Witch Trials did. At first only marginal people and outcasts were swept up. Then the charges started going higher and higher in the social pecking order until everybody felt threatened. At that point the authorities put a total halt to them.

Why couldn’t these things have come out in 1980? Then Reagan would have been free to dump him and name a REAL running mate.

Beat me to it!!! I clicked on the link in order to post precisely the same comment!!!

Oh, the Graham accusations will be great! If it’s a female, it’s a lie. :)

I am waiting for Mccain , Mcconnell, and Graham accusations.

Accusations that they groped each other? Would hardly be surprising.

Pretty soon, the news story will be about a politician who HASN’T groped anyone.

“Note to Jeb: Tell your father he should revoke his secret service protection, immediately. Or is your family, as we suspect, a bunch of hypocrites?”

Also, no visits to the White House, no state funeral in the capital, and no burial in Arlington.

And place plaques at the Bush library to "add context."

I’m not ashamed of my country but I am ashamed of my government that is comprised of elected officials, appointed officials and the many entrenched, swampy bureaucrats.

I’d been giving him a partial pass on this for being a senile wreck.

Of course, evil, quisling, manipulating globalist sell out squirrel and Saudi licker from the Bohemian Grove, Skull & Bones, & cet. already defined him for me.

In 1980 Groping would never have been spoken of by a woman. Zero chance she would have been believed, and nobody would have cared.

McCain wasn’t a WWII pilot, and my point was: Who gives a flying fck? If it wasn’t important enough to make a complaint then, why is there a need to bring it up now, particularly when it can’t be proven?

I’ll bet that chick in the green dress in the front had to grab the pervert’s hand to keep it away from her behind, based on the unusual way she’s holding it.

Looking at it again, I think you're right.   He was probably trying to go for both of them (like Biden sometimes tries to do).
