The Republicans have defined "groping" as any physical contact between a male Democrat and a female!

Before too long there are going to be men who will anonymously accuse female Democrats of "groping" them, and the calls for their resignations will echo throughout the halls of congress!

The Republicans now have a very powerful weapon, and thanks to the circular firing squad that Democrats are experts at forming, 2018 isn't going to end well for the Democratic Party!
