A second woman on Wednesday came forward to claim George H.W. Bush touched her butt during a photo shoot — and said he made a creepy joke to her about his favorite magician being “David Cop-a-Feel.”
Actress Jordana Grolnick told The Post that she had initially brushed of the August 2016 incident when the wheelchair-bound ex-president goosed her — but has now decided to come forward in light of an earlier allegation.
“It really didn’t strike me as anything — it was the president,” Grolnick said. “In light of all this ‘me too’ — with women coming out and telling their stories — I rethought it and thought, ‘No, it shouldn’t happen.’ ”
She said she wanted to set the story straight so that others would not have to experience that behavior.
“I’m not trying to ruin the rest of his life . . . we should abolish that sort of behavior at any level,” Grolnick said.
She came foward after Heather Lind on Tuesday claim that Bush in 2014 groped her during a photo shoot.
Lind said Bush “touched me from behind from his wheelchair” and “told me a dirty joke.”
On Tuesday, Bush’s representative called the incident an “attempt at humor,” and apologized.
On Wednesday, Bush’s camp continued to explain why he engaged in the deviant behavior.
“At age 93, President Bush has been confined to a wheelchair for roughly five years, so his arm falls on the lower waist of people with whom he takes pictures,” according to a statement. “To try to put people at ease, the president routinely tells the same joke — and on occasion, he has patted women’s rears in what he intended to be a good-natured manner.
“Some have seen it as innocent; others clearly view it as inappropriate,” the statement continued. “To anyone he has offended, President Bush apologizes most sincerely.”
