Rep. Ralph Norman jokes about Ruth Bader Ginsburg's being 'groped' by Abe Lincoln
ABCNews ^ | 9/21/18 | Meghan Keneally

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.

Why would anything want to grab RBG’s ass?
Even leeches would ignore her.

off color joke? No, it was one in poor taste. Groping, rape, molesting. Never funny. And it gives your enemy ammunition. What’s that called? An unforced error.

“That is incredibly demeaning... Where does Lincoln go to get his reputation back?”

What is truly sad is if the liberals of today were around in Lincoln’s day he may never have been President - considering as a 33 year old bachelor his marriage to the almost 24 year old Mary Todd when he likely feared she was pregnant (son born 9 months to the day from the wedding) would be used against him.

Showing too much leg at Ford’s Theater. John Wilkes Booth got jealous and used his derringer.

It was never about the Civil War.

Well, I have to give both Abe and Ruth the benefit of the doubt and assume she was hot then.

Yeah, it was obvious they used a Medusa for the basis for Yigael's Wall in Omen II. I'm guessing you mean this one?
