According to Ginsburg, it wasn't just Booth's arms that were short.

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.

LOL!
According to Ginsburg, it wasn't just Booth's arms that were short.
Frances Folsom dismissed the allegation as the work of a vast left-wing conspiracy.
ROTFL!! Especially with Demonicrat heads exploding at hearing the joke.
In the meantime Rep. Norman’s Demonicrat opponent, Archie Parnell, has not denied that, in 1973, he was accused of beating his wife, who was granted a divorce and a restraining order.
His rejoinder after the punchline should have been a second one:
“Lincoln vehemently denies the charge, as Mary Todd never let him out of her sight.”
(And maybe even a third…)
“…And besides, Democrats were actively trying to bring down his Presidency at the time and could be counted on to say such things.”
They’d hit you with anything on Star Trek.
…Anything!
They had a ton of beautiful women on ‘Trek.
“They called him Abraham Lincoln, The Rail-Splitter.”
“Until the night they called him…”
Lulz!
#metoo!
