Trump-endorsed gubernatorial candidate sues state senator who accuses him of groping

(CNN) — A Republican Nebraska gubernatorial candidate accused of inappropriate physical contact by eight women is suing a state senator who is one of the accusers.

Charles Herbster filed the suit Friday against GOP state Sen. Julie Slama.

Slama was quoted in an article in the Nebraska Examiner saying that Herbster had reached up her skirt during a Republican fundraising dinner in 2019. She later issued a statement saying, "Today's Nebraska Examiner report about Charles Herbster sexually assaulting me in 2019, when I was 22 years old, is true."

Herbster has called the allegations in the article "100% false," and the lawsuit says, "As a result of Defendant Slama's false statements about him, Plaintiff has suffered grievous harm to his reputation."

1. Valiant effort!

But, dude. DeSantis already has the minitrump role locked down.

I guess he's just building cred for his senate bid.

2. I saw this on tic tok from the goodliars

I saw a show today about these guys who go to TFG club meetings and trolls them.

Got hooked watching these shorts and here was that guy.

He’s pretty full of himself

3. problem with that Herbie ..

Is that other women witnessed the same behavior - at the same event.

Your attempt to drag this young woman (and a fellow Republican I might add) into the mire with you ain't gonna' work sweet cheeks.

4. Discovery should be interesting. A former President could be a character witness at trial.
