| Alexander's mug shot |
A Houston, Texas
newspaper, KHOU,
is reporting that 49-year-old Bruce Alexander of Tampa, Florida was arrested
after groping a woman on a Southwest Airlines flight from Houston to
Albuquerque, New Mexico.
The woman said she felt Alexander’s hand move from behind her and grab her right breast. She said she fell asleep about 20 minutes into the flight and not long after, she felt him touch her but assumed it was an accident.
About 30 minutes later, she said she felt Alexander’s hand grab the back of her arm ‘slowly and attentively‘ and grope around her ribs and then her breast.
She stood up and
confronted Alexander, telling him that she didn’t understand how he could
possibly think this is OK.
A flight attendant
re-seated her in another part of the plane.
Why did Alexander
think this is OK? Well, according to Alexander, he got his ideas from the pr*sident.
According to an affidavit, when he was placed in handcuffs, he asked what the sentence was for the charge he was being arrested for and later told officers President Trump says it’s OK to grab women by their private parts.
This is an exact
quote, according to the affidavit.
“The President of the United States says it’s OK to grab women by their private parts.”
Alexander was
referencing an Access Hollywood tape
of the president saying precisely that (but using the word “pussy”) during his
2016 campaign.
Also like Trump,
Alexander says he has no recollection of
touching the woman.
Authorities report that Alexander has “hairy thick fingers” with “dark buildup underneath the nail and appeared dirty.”

These behaviors are
becoming more common. Another man did the same thing in September,
but he didn’t cite Trump. It should be noted that according to Trump, you can
only do that if you’re “a star.”
Right.
Right.
Alexander was arrested
by the FBI at Albuquerque International Support for abusive sexual contact
and appeared in federal court on Monday. The charge carries a maximum
penalty of two years in jail and a $250,000 fine.
