A fourth woman has come forward with claims that she was groped during a photo op with former President George H.W. Bush. The former Republican state Senate candidate, Amanda Staples, said she was 29 in 2006 when she visited Bush. He allegedly groped her behind—while standing beside her—and said “‘Oh, I’m not THAT President.’” Staples shared her story on Instagram, along with a picture of her and Bush. “I can only imagine how many women have had their butt grabbed in a photo op,” she said, adding that if she had a daughter “I’d never tell her to shrug it off because he was president.”
