Man accused of groping woman on flight invokes Trump (tr)
Washington Compost ^ | October 23, 2018 | Allyson Chiu

A woman flying from Houston to Albuquerque on Sunday had just settled into her seat and fallen asleep when she was awoken by an unwanted touch — a hand from behind her grabbing the right side of her breast. And the man authorities say is responsible allegedly cited President Trump’s past lewd language about women.

Federal prosecutors allege that the hand belonged to 49-year-old Bruce Michael Alexander from Tampa, another passenger on the Southwest Airlines flight, who reportedly told authorities after being arrested Sunday that “the President of the United States says it’s ok to grab women by their private parts,” according to a criminal complaint.

Alexander was charged Monday with abusive sexual contact, according to a news release from the U.S. attorney’s office in New Mexico. The charge carries a maximum penalty of two years in jail and a $250,000 fine. A lawyer representing Alexander could not be reached for comment late Monday.

It all began about 15 to 20 minutes after Southwest Airlines Flight 5421 left Houston on Sunday. The woman, identified in the complaint only as C.W., said she was asleep in her window seat when “she felt her clothes move” and fingers start touching her from behind “on her right side at and around her ‘bra line.’ ”

Though she initially assumed “the touching was an accident,” it happened again about 30 minutes later.

People continue to completely misinterpret what Trump said. His comment was about women who are attracted to rich powerful men and consent to being touched by them. It was never about assaulting or groping anyone.

He did not misinterpret what Trump said. He simply used it as an excuse. Probably a Dem.

Basically, the guy identifies himself as a Democrat, by spewing their talking points like a robot. I guess he was trying to blame Trump somehow - its all they know to do.

One would wager that he is, in fact, a Dem. (Don't know, it might be interesting to find out.)

“the President of the United States says it’s ok to grab women by their private parts,”

No. Trump never said it was “O.K.”

That argument could have been used when Clinton was president and before any state legalized marijuana. They could have argued that Clinton’s comments regarding his past use of Marijuana amounted to saying it was “O.K.”. It would not have gotten them out of being charged with “possession” at the time, no matter what Clinton had sad. And this perv can use anything Trump said as his excuse either.

Now then, the difference between the two kinds of cases and the two periods of time? Most of the Left/Liberals countenanced the illegal use of Marijuana in the Clinton era, but no matter what POLITICAL views CONSERVATIVES have of Trump, most do not think the behavior of the perv on the airplane should be excused, by any justification.
