Bentley Made Sexually Suggestive Comments to Aide

March 24, 2016 · 7:48 am ET · 65 Comments

Alabama Gov. Robert Bentley (R) “apologized to the people of Alabama for explicit comments he made to Rebekah Mason, his top political adviser,” the Birmingham News reports.

“But Bentley, who has been under siege since former Alabama Law Enforcement Secretary Spencer Collier accused him of having an affair, denied he had been involved in a physical relationship with her… When asked to comment on the recordings – part of which include Bentley describing how he liked the come up behind the woman and touch her breasts – he clarified that it was not a ‘sexual relationship.'”
