GOP Senator Says Grabbing A Woman’s Genitals Is Not Sexual Assault

[TexasTowelie]

WASHINGTON ― Sen. Jeff Sessions (R-Ala.), a top Donald Trump surrogate, said on Sunday that even if the GOP nominee actually grabbed a woman “by the pussy,” as he bragged about in a leaked tape from 2005, that behavior would not amount to sexual assault.

“I don’t characterize that as sexual assault,” Sessions told The Weekly Standard in the spin room after Sunday night’s presidential debate. “I think that’s a stretch. I don’t know what he meant.”

“So if you grab a woman by the genitals, that’s not sexual assault?” the reporter asked Sessions.

“I don’t know,” the senator replied. “It’s not clear that he — how that would occur.”

1. Sessions is the seed that produced Palin and ultimately Trump

He is racist, sexist and hates anything government except that which feeds him and his lobbiest.

2. How would that occur?

Draw that man a picture!

3. Then what... underwear inspection?

4. Sessions is elected to make and pass laws, he needs help. It is assault.

5. You lost me at "GOP Senator says."

I stopped reading after that, due to lack of caring.




j/k

If Trump really did shoot someone in the street, these asshats would try to redefine "murder" to excuse him.

"In criminal and civil law, assault is an attempt to initiate harmful or offensive contact with a person, or a threat to do so.[1] It is distinct from battery, which refers to the actual achievement of such contact."

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Assault

If Trump ACTUALLY did this, as he said he did, it would be "Sexual Battery."

"Sexual battery is an unwanted form of contact with an intimate part of the body that is made for purposes of sexual arousal, sexual gratification or sexual abuse. Sexual battery may occur whether the victim is clothed or not. It is a crime, which varies by state laws, so local laws should be consulted."

9. Sexual assault:

"Sexual assault is a sexual act in which a person is coerced or physically forced to engage against their will, or a non-consensual sexual touching of a person. Sexual assault is a form of sexual violence, and it includes rape (such as forced vaginal, anal or oral penetration or drug facilitated sexual assault), groping, forced kissing,[citation needed] child sexual abuse, or the torture of the person in a sexual manner."

10. As usual, differing wikipedia articles!

I was, however, merely being facetious!

12. How about not a wiki "article":

Sexual assault is any type of sexual contact or behavior that occurs without the explicit consent of the recipient. Falling under the definition of sexual assault are sexual activities as forced sexual intercourse, forcible sodomy, child molestation, incest, fondling, and attempted rape.

7. F**k Sessions!

He was in consideration as Trump's running mate before Pence was selected. He is a typical RWNJ.

11. That might be considered assaulting myself. (or battering - if that is the correct verb usage.)
