33. If his accusers are to be believed

Tue Nov 21, 2017, 01:27 PM

He didn’t harass anyone.

He did pretend to grope a woman’s bosom.
There is a video of him performing his USO skit in which the female lead says, “I think you wrote this script so that you could kiss me,” so one can safely assume that it was performed again.
He did, indeed, put his hands on a woman’s waist during a state fair meet-and-greet.
