Rep. Ralph Norman, R-S.C., used his opening remarks at a Thursday debate for South Carolina's 5th Congressional District to make an off-color joke about Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
"Did y’all hear the latest, late-breaking news from the Kavanaugh hearings? Ruth Bader Ginsburg came out [saying[ that she was groped by Abraham Lincoln," he said to some laughs and applause.
Norman, who has been endorsed by President Donald Trump, later defended his remarks on Twitter, saying they were "meant to add a bit of levity to a very serious debate between me and my Democrat opponent and to point to the circus-like atmosphere that Washington, D.C., has become."
"People really need to learn to lighten up,” Norman, 65, wrote in a string of three tweets. “Clearly my opponent understood it that way since for the next hour we engaged in a substantive discussion about our many differences without mention of my comments.
"Once again, the Democrats and the media have taken an event that was newsworthy for so many substantive reasons and are now only adding more clowns and distractions to the current circus," he wrote.

Yes, that one, though he made 2.
Now remember who Medusa was.
She was a horrific Gorgon who was so terrifyingly ugly that just to look upon her face would turn you to stone.
So, Caravaggio painted the most horrible face he could think of.
It looks like a very young Hillary.................
He’s right. People DO need to lighten up.
“Why would anything want to grab RBG’s ass?”
Maybe not now, but she was quite pretty when she was young — back when Lincoln knew her. Someone posted a pic here a few days ago.
I thought it was Ben Franklin...
I saw film of Abe firing back in self defense too.
LOL!
Of course he was.
That was my line!
That joke works on so many levels. First it highlights how absurd the groping charge is..honest Abe and Kavenaugh compared. Then it highlights just how old and frail RBG is...then it tweaks leftist outrage over nothing. Perfect.
“I saw film of Abe firing back in self defense too.”
I’m holding my breath that Ginsburg will “come forward” with a DNA stained dress and claim that she was assaulted by Abraham Lincoln. The good news is that “Honest Abe” had much better taste in women.
His deranged Democrat opponent is an actual wife-beater.
He was. Sadism was re-named for him.
Hillary is definitely ..... something else.
Thank you. I was going to ask, who DOES it look like? I’m terrible at faces.
LOL! Gross!
Ginsburg also alleges she was groped by Grover Cleveland on two non-consecutive occasions.
I’m waiting for ‘rats to bring up something about Kavanaugh’s behavior in kindergarten; it’d be barely more absurd than what they are doing now.
And her boyfriend at the time John Wilkes Booth wasn’t pleased.
