Trump groped me before an appearance at The Late Show with David Letterman in 2006. We were photographed outside the building. He stood right next to me and suddenly he squeezed my butt. He really grabbed my butt.

But, this is one case where whataboutism can be fairly weaponized.
Dredge up all they can regarding PINO and it defangs the snake their using to attack Joe.

(15,320 posts)There's no controversy when the party supports and endorses sexual assault.
Only controversy sells.
If Retrumplicans gave one fuck about pussygrabbing, this would get prime media attention.
There's no news there.
President assaults women? + Party of president is ok with assault?
= Not a story worth covering
Oh, they may spend a second letting Susan Collins express "deep concern", but that's about it.

(3,166 posts)If 20 or 30 more women come forward with their stories about Trump, it would cause barely a blip or a passing mention in the press. It is truly unbelievable what has been normalized in the Trump era. In fact, we've gotten to the point where every insult, every tweet, and every pussy-grab can be written off as "Trump being Trump."
It's not unique to Trump either, although he is the most egregious example. I've never understood why John Edwards became a pariah while Newt Gingrich, who pretty much did the same thing that Edwards did, is still taken seriously and still makes the talking-head rounds on cable news. And of course, the Clenis still provokes the right-wing to this day.
I still can't figure out what it is about Trump that causes them to defend him. Trump literally has NO redeeming qualities. He is repulsive, stupid, narcissistic and butt-ugly. He can't put together a coherent sentence. He knows nothing about ANY issue.
Any Democrat who did one-millionth of what Trump has done would be run out of town on a rail.
Scarsdale
(9,426 posts)We LIKE it that way. Low life republicans can take their trashy, uncouth candidates and spend all their time trying to defend them. Remember David Vitter the (R) who had prostitutes changing his diapers, and he would call them from "work" He got a standing ovation when he returned to the Senate. Now his wife who declared that if her husband EVER did what Bill Clinton did, she would pull a Bobbitt on him, she is now a judge. Imagine that. Hillary is STILL being punished for what Bill did. Republicans "settle" democratic voters want CLASSY, intelligent, empathetic candidates, and we get them. We prefer the cream of the crop, not the barnacles that cling to the bottom of the ship.
moose65
(3,166 posts)I mean, I cant see Democrats nominating the Democratic version of Trump (whatever that would be), but Republicans run these crazies and WIN!! I guess that says more about the electorate than the candidate.
Scarsdale
(9,426 posts)Russian interference helps the gop, too. The democratic politicians do not lower their standards to "win". tRump did NOT win the election, Hillary did, and they know it.

(3,483 posts)"she smiled, and and savored every moment that his hands were exploring her body, reveling in the touch of her former lover. I can't deny that I felt some strange stirrings deep inside, as if I too was longing for those strong, stable hands to roam freely"....
