Trump’s Rally Features Candidate Accused of Groping

April 19, 2022 · 2:04 pm ET · Leave a Comment

“Donald Trump travels to Nebraska next week for a campaign rally featuring a supportive gubernatorial candidate who has been accused of groping by eight women,” USA Today reports.

Washington Post: “Eight women accused Charles Herbster (R) of touching them inappropriately, according to a report published last week by the Nebraska Examiner. Although seven of the women spoke on the condition of anonymity, the state senator, Julie Slama, went on the record and said Herbster reached up her skirt and touched her inappropriately during an event in 2019.”

Meanwhile, three witnesses of Herbster’s groping have now gone on the record with the Nebraska Examiner.
