Most GOP senators would prefer to ignore an allegation of rape against the president.

WASHINGTON ― Republicans handled questions about the latest sexual misconduct allegation against President Donald Trump in familiar and predictable ways Tuesday.

E. Jean Carroll, a longtime advice columnist, came forward last weekend with an allegation that Trump raped her in a dressing room in the 1990s, when she was 52. She is the 16th woman to accuse Trump of sexual misconduct. Carroll said she told two friends about the assault at the time. Both told New York magazine, which published the excerpt Friday, that they remember the incident.

On Capitol Hill, Republican senators reacted as they do with all questions involving some sort of Trump controversy: by dodging it or claiming they couldn’t yet comment.Added Sen. Pat Toomey of the story, which first broke on Friday: “I haven’t seen that.”“I look forward to reading it,” he said.Sen. James Lankford , meanwhile, suggested that the author came forward with her allegation because of financial motivations.

The only comments that gingerly broke from the party line came from familiar sources: Sens. Mitt Romney and Susan Collins . The two frequently speak out about Trump, though they’ve often voted for his agenda.

Really? It went from rape, to grope. Both bad, but definitely a difference between rape and grope.
