Justin Trudeau admits to apologizing to reporter he allegedly groped

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau admitted Thursday he previously apologized to a reporter who alleged Trudeau groped her at a festival in 2000 -- but the Liberal Party leader continued to insist he didn’t act inappropriately.

Trudeau expanded on comments he made Sunday, when he told reporters he didn’t “remember any negative interactions” on the day in which he's accused of groping a Creston Daily Advance journalist.

“I’ve been reflecting very carefully on what I remember from that incident almost 20 years ago,” he said. “I do not feel that I acted inappropriately in any way. But I respect the fact that someone else might have experienced that differently.”

Well, at least it was a woman (as far as we can tell).

Lol!

Isn’t that the usual defense of men facing such accusations—but I had no idea my attention was unwanted!

Seems to be a favorite of men in media caught harassing many women at work, but apparently can be applied to Trudeau’s situation as well.

‘Admits to apologising’... That’s what headlines have been reduced to these days.

For me, that is the mot surprising part. Hope his eyebrows stayed in place while he was groping the woman.

Only BC has recall BUT it would be interesting to foment a BC recall election of Trudeau over this.

Even if it didn't get past BC it's a wedge to procure favorable terms in the NAFTA talks, particularly since now the Canucks want to speed things up.

Bingo. I said "monkeys with phones" in a thread earlier this year.

Didn’t Clinton institute the “One free Grope” rule?
Yes he did. The Left's double standard / hypocrisy is just soooo vile.

“Didn’t Clinton institute the “One free Grope” rule?”

Biden sure enlarged upon that rule.

Someone define "groping".

Here's one of many examples...not that this applies to the Boy Leader's situation:

I travel on public transportation (trains) regularly...mainly in Boston and NYC.Often the trains I ride are packed with rush hour commuters.While standing in such trains I *always* make sure I know where both my hands are so that during sudden acceleration or braking I don't accidently brush up against some woman who just might cry "rape".

“I do not feel that I acted inappropriately.....”

This is an apology?

Well he had fun. Like most self centered POS, it doesn’t really matter if the other person didn’t enjoy the “ attention”. So, now do these serial gropers get to use the now famous “#metoo”. As in, “I’ve also been falsely accused of unwanted groping even though I did it”.

Frankly, when it was first reported that somebody had accused Trudeau of a sexual assault I was surprised it was a woman... I figured it would be a man.

The big problem for Trudeau is the assault did occur, and he himself instituted a ‘zero’ tolerance for those accused of such behaviour in his cabinet. He’s already gotten rid of several people based on this policy and now the question is... Why doesn’t he resign?

He won’t because as a liberal and socialist... He’s is also obviously a hypocrite. Rules apply, except they don’t apply to him. Read ‘Animal Farm’ and you’ll figure it out.

Well said.

And exactly what is a grope? I am a woman, BTW. So, if a man put his arm around my waist uninvited is that considered a grope?

This happened to me a few times in my life in my younger years. In each instance, after I had extricated myself the man in question got the message. Was I violated? No.

I guess some of these crybabies could be referring to such an action as a “grope”. Don’t know for sure.

He doesn’t remember doing anything inappropriate but he “respects” someone who may feel differently?! I don’t get it. He either groped or he didn’t grope.

These wimpy feminist soy boys have it as a rule of faith that women must always be believed. So when he is the accused, even if he didn’t do it he cannot deny it because that implies he’s saying she lied. It fun watching wimpy liberals get held to their own stupid standards.
