WASHINGTON (AP) — A television actress has accused former President George H.W. Bush of touching her from behind while she was posing for a photo alongside him and telling her a dirty joke.
People magazine reports Heather Lind said in a now-deleted Instagram post that the incident took place while she was posing for a photo with Bush during a promotional tour for her AMC series “TURN: Washington’s Spies.” Lind appears alongside the 93-year-old Bush, who’s seated in a wheelchair, in a photo together at a Houston screening of the series in 2014.
Lind posted a photo to Instagram of the former president shaking hands with other former U.S. presidents at a concert Bush's presidential foundation hosted in College Station, Texas, on Saturday to raise money for hurricane relief and described her own experience with the elder Bush.
“I found it disturbing because I recognize the respect ex-presidents are given for having served. And I feel pride and reverence toward many of the men in the photo. But when I got the chance to meet George H. W. Bush four years ago to promote a historical television show I was working on, he sexually assaulted me while I was posing for a similar photo," wrote Lind in a since-deleted Instagram post.
“He didn’t shake my hand. He touched me from behind from his wheelchair with his wife Barbara Bush by his side. He told me a dirty joke. And then, all the while being photographed, touched me again. Barbara rolled her eyes as if to say ‘not again.’ His security guard told me I shouldn’t have stood next to him for the photo,” wrote Lind.
Bush spokesman Jim McGrath tells The Associated Press in a statement: “President Bush would never — under any circumstance — intentionally cause anyone distress, and he most sincerely apologizes if his attempt at humor offended Ms. Lind.”
The 93-year-old former president, who has a Parkinsons-like disease and other ailments, uses a wheelchair and has difficulty speaking.

Why would this woman lie about this?? I believe this occultist-globalist traitor is capable of ANY thing. Including calling Bubba "son." His kind of elite think they can abuse anyone. Frankly, the entire crime family is warped.
(BTW, remember when during the '92 campaign Bubba and Hitlery actually leaked a story -- and media of course ran with it -- of Poppy's infidelity designed to divert attention from Bubba getting busted red-handed in the Gennifer Flowers scandal?)
Regarding Poppy NWO Bush: If he's so incapacitated, why can and would this old, sick, ex-globalist puppet and head-spook still travel for these several photo-ops with his co-puppets?

I don't think you hold a man in his nineties to the same standard as you would a man under 70.

Of course ;-) A meme going on a year now....
Maybe now that The Hag has been exposed for being THE source of the Uranium-Russia sale AND being the source of the "Russian Dossier," the meme will begin changing direction.
The potential future 360 degrees of Schadenfreude of watching the Klintoons at the bayonet end of the "Russia!!" BS (and well as stuffing it back into the faces of the Progs and MSM Inc) will be a thing of beauty.

In certain senses, yes, but it's questionable as to whether a man suddenly begins to act like a perv out of no where.
One could make the case that Poppy was merely carrying on and acting out of habit, but these days unable to control what used to be past routine that was more subtle and/or never reported. And that's giving him the benefit of doubt.
Here he is at a gathering of Freepers in the Olive Garden courtyard, obviously very aware of what's going on:

I think Trump and the Russians probably colluded on this.

My exact thoughts,along with "Is she flat-chested,and is there a possibility he didn't have his glasses on and thought she was a boy?"
