Former President George H.W. Bush’s spokesperson released another statement responding to allegations of sexual assault on Wednesday night, as a second woman said Bush groped her during a photo op.
“I got sent the Heather Lind story by many people this morning,” actress Jordana Grolnick told Deadspin. “And I’m afraid that mine is entirely similar.”
Grolnick was referring to an account from Heather Lind, who said that, four years ago, Bush sexually assaulted her during a photo op. “He touched me from behind from his wheelchair with his wife Barbara Bush by his side,” Lind said in a since-deleted Instagram post. “He told me a ? joke. And then, all the while being photographed, touched me again.”
Grolnick described a similar incident, when Bush and former first lady Barbara Bush went backstage to meet the cast of a play he’d seen, and of which she was a member: “We all circled around him and Barbara for a photo, and I was right next to him,” she told Deadspin. “He reached his right hand around to my behind, and as we smiled for the photo he asked the group, ‘Do you want to know who my favorite magician is?’ As I felt his hand dig into my flesh, he said, ‘David Cop-a-Feel!’”
The former first lady, Grolnick said, said something like “He’s going to get himself put into jail!” Lind, in her case, said Barbara Bush had said, “Not again.”
Bush’s spokesperson did not respond to TPM’s questions on Wednesday. He told Deadspin, in his second statement on the matter:
“At age 93, President Bush has been confined to a wheelchair for roughly five years, so his arm falls on the lower waist of people with whom he takes pictures. To try to put people at ease, the president routinely tells the same joke — and on occasion, he has patted women’s rears in what he intended to be a good-natured manner. Some have seen it as innocent; others clearly view it as inappropriate. To anyone he has offended, President Bush apologizes most sincerely.”
The previous day, the same spokesperson, Jim McGrath, told various outlets: “President Bush would never — under any circumstance — intentionally cause anyone distress, and he most sincerely apologizes if his attempt at humor offended Ms. Lind.”
Deadspin’s Dave McKenna noted in his report on Grolnick’s allegation that he had found, in previous reporting, two women who had tweeted about Bush making the “David Cop-a-feel” joke on Apr. 4, 2014.

On the low old man Bush probably has Alzheimer's. Most old man who have that ? loose all sense of what is and isn't appropriate. My grandfather had that ? before he died and he turned into Eddie Murphy/Uncle Luke overnight. All he talked about was ? . It didn't matter where we were or what we were there for he was gonna eye ? any ? that walked and he was gonna tell the world including my grandma what he wanted to do to her. ? was goat. Granddaddy kept it trill to the end with no ? given lol.
The ? was funny to me but the doctors told us it was all a part of the disease. He didn't mean anything by it and he was incapable of hurting anyone. Alzheimer's is a brain disease and he lost the use of the part of the brain that told him certain conversations were inappropriate. But with all that said deep down I know Big Rob just didn't give a ? . And guess what when I get to be 87 I wont either. Tell them fine ass sponge bath nurses to get ready. I'll be grabbing ass all over the hospital in 50 years or so.

Yoooooo this reminds me of one of the funniest old man shenanigans I’ve ever witnessed. Gots to share.
During residency I was rotating through the Renal service and we got a lot of patients on dialysis and end-stage Renal Disease and for those that don’t know those patients are sick as ? and stay being admitted to the hospital so we (doctors and nurses) get to know the patients really well.
We had this OG who was a trip...even had an old black man’s name...Leroy...and homie never left the streets. Sold ? from his hospital bed, set up domino games with the other old ass patients, had his old side ? fighting in the hallways....classic ? .
New nurse starts working in the Unit...24, 25 years old...adorable little white blonde from SC. We all wanted to slide a ? in her bad but I digress...
So one day she comes up to me and asks: “Doctor...is there a disease that will shrink your ? if you don’t stretch it out??” I was like “fuuuck no.” ? looked mortified...she was like “Mr S (Ol’ Leroy) on 381 told me that he has a condition and that I needed to stretch his ? out every morning!”
I couldn’t even be mad at the Old Man. Get it my g -
Smash or Pass young Barbara?

They claim he has dementia which is why he keeps telling the same stupid joke and squeezing their butts. But some of them are really playing this up by saying he sexually assaulted them instead of saying he groped their butt after a lame joke.
Either way his caretakers should of been put a handle on this.
