An eighth woman has come forward to accuse
former President George H.W. Bush of groping
her.
In a Democracy Now! exclusive, a former flight
attendant told us that in the early 1990s,
soon after Bush’s presidential term ended,
she was working in first class when the former
president “grabbed my arm, complimenting
me on my tan and how pretty I looked … and
would not let go of my arm, and pulled me
close to his seat and put his arm around below
my waist, the butt area.
He was sitting.
I was standing, trying to work.
… I couldn’t get away.
… The captain was not happy!
[The president] didn’t let go until the
captain announced we missed our takeoff spot.
[The captain] was looking at me with the door
open.
That is how he knew I wasn’t seated for
takeoff, because [the president] wouldn’t
let go of my arm, and they can’t take off
until we are all seated.”
Those the words of a former flight attendant—yet
another woman coming forward to accuse former
president George H.W. Bush of groping her.
She says Bush was sitting next to his wife,
Barbara.
This comes after Broadway actress Megan Elizabeth
Lewis said Tuesday that George H.W. Bush grabbed
her buttocks after he asked her to take a
photo with him in 2009 at one of her performances
in Houston.
