Actress Claims Pres. George H.W. Bush Molested Her Like “Countless Other Women”
By Jessica Finn. Former President George HW Bush has apologized after an actress claimed he ‘sexually assaulted’ her while he was in his wheelchair.
Heather Lind, 34, who starred in AMC’s series ‘Turn: Washington’s Spies’, made the allegations against the 93-year-old former president on Instagram in a lengthy post with accompanying photos.
‘When I got the chance to meet George H. W. Bush four years ago to promote a historical television show I was working on, he sexually assaulted me while I was posing for a similar photo. He didn’t shake my hand. He touched me from behind from his wheelchair with his wife Barbara Bush by his side. He told me a dirty joke,’ Lind alleges. . .
Lind said in her since-deleted Instagram post it happened a second time: ‘And then, all the while being photographed, touched me again. Barbara rolled her eyes as if to say ”not again”. His security guard told me I shouldn’t have stood next to him for the photo’ . . .
‘We were instructed to call him Mr. President. It seems to me a President’s power is in his or her capacity to enact positive change, actually help people, and serve as a symbol of our democracy,’ the lengthy post went on. ‘He relinquished that power when he used it against me and, judging from the comments of those around him, countless other women before me,’ Lind wrote.

By Kate Feldman. Former President George H.W. Bush had to issue a thousand points of apology Wednesday after two women accused him of fondling their backsides.
A spokesman for the 93-year-old acknowledged in a statement that on a few occasions Bush “has patted women’s rears in what he intended to be a good-natured manner.”
The awkward touches are the result of Bush’s arm falling too low at times when he poses with people for pictures — a weakness developed over five years in a wheelchair, the spokesman said.
“To try to put people at ease, the President routinely tells the same joke,” the spokesman’s statement said. (Read more from “Former President George H.W. Bush Admits to ‘on Occasion’ Patting Women on Rear” HERE)
