MEXICO CITY (AP) What should have been a five-minute time-saving walk from Mexicos National Palace to the Education Ministry for President Claudia Sheinbaum has become a stomach-churning viral moment after a video captured a drunk man groping the president.
The brief clip has given the daily harassment and assaults that women suffer in Mexico their highest-profile platform. And on Wednesday, Sheinbaum used her daily press briefing to say that she had pressed charges against the man.
She also called on states to look at their laws and procedures to make it easier for women to report such assaults and said Mexicans needed to hear a loud and clear, no, womens personal space must not be violated.
Sheinbaum said she felt a responsibility to press charges, because if not, where would that leave Mexican women? If this is done to the president, what is going to happen to all of the young women in our country?

I was going to ask what Trump was doing in Mexico but I'm told he doesn't drink.

(4,640 posts)it looks like that security guard thought that the drunk was trying to be in the picture with the president, that maybe the drunk was with the people on the other side of the president.

(1,909 posts)It comes natural to him. I'm guessing it might be genetic considering either his grandfather or great-grandfather was a pimp. Is it genetic or taught? Sounds like a $1 wager to me?
I'm sorry President Sheinbaum had that experience.
