During an event in 2019, for example, Republican State Sen. Julie Slama confirmed that as she walked by Herbster, he reached up her skirt, without her consent, and touched her inappropriately. The incident happened in the middle of a crowded ballroom at the Douglas County Republican Party’s annual Elephant Remembers dinner.

Another person attending the 2019 event saw Herbster reach up Slama’s skirt and had told the Examiner about it. That witness and two others said they saw Herbster grope another young woman on her buttocks at the same event.

When the Examiner asked Slama on Monday if the two incidents at the event had been described accurately, and whether Herbster had touched her under her skirt, Slama said: “Yes, confirmed,” but declined to discuss the incidents further.

A seventh woman said Herbster once cornered her privately and kissed her forcibly.

All the incidents occurred between 2017 and this year, according to those involved. The women ranged in age from their late teens to mid-20s at the time of the incidents.

1. Herbster's running for Governor, GOP

He spent time with the failed coup family January 5 &6.

Three minutes after rioters pushed past police lines west of the U.S. Capitol last January, Charles Herbster received a text from a campaign staffer in Nebraska, telling him the Capitol was locked down.

Thank you,” Herbster replied at 2:14 p.m. EST from a Secret Service motorcade near the White House. A minute later, he wrote: “I was expecting as much.”

Herbster, a leading candidate for Nebraska governor who touts his ties to Trump, spent much of Jan. 5-6, 2021, with then-President Donald Trump’s inner circle, including his sons. The Conklin Co. CEO, who donated $1.3 million to Trump’s presidential campaigns, knew more about the runup to the Jan. 6 protests than he has previously acknowledged.

I think this sexual predator, Herbster, was also involved in the Republican Attorney Generals Association (RAGA) robocalls egging the insurrectionists on. Need to double check.

I think he was also present at one of the pre-coup Jan. 5 plotting sessions at some hotel in DC

2. Enough! Enough cred for this guy!

He has everything a Nebraska GQP gubernatorial candidate needs to win. It's almost like he's just piling on and showing off with the sexual predator allegations. Next we'll hear him bragging about killing a guy with his car and claiming it was a deer.

4. This article explained the degrees of sexual assault

Something that was never clearly pointed out in the unfortunate railroading of Al Franken. For him, it was GUILTY, apply most severe consequences.

6. Herbster will be a guest speaker at

a trump rally at 8 p.m. Friday, April 29, at the I-80 Speedway in Greenwood, Neb., located about 25 miles northeast of Lincoln.

I'll bet the only thing about it that will piss off trumpers is that the race scheduled for that time has been cancelled.
