Rep. Ralph Norman (R-S.C.) on Thursday mocked the sexual misconduct accusations brought against President Trump's Supreme Court nominee, Brett Kavanaugh.

“Did you hear about this?” Norman, who has represented South Carolina's 5th Congressional District since 2017, said at an election debate, according to The Post and Courier.

“Ruth Bader Ginsburg came out saying she was groped by Abraham Lincoln,” he quipped about the 85-year-old Supreme Court Justice.

The newspaper noted that the comment sparked nervous laughter at the venue in which the debate was being held. But South Carolina Democrats quickly blasted the remark as "inappropriate."

Norman's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment from The Hill.

And South Carolina wonders why the rest of the nation looks down on them as a bunch of rubes.
